    I am not sure if this is useful to anyone or if this information is already available in this format elsewhere, but I went to a web page where they had pass rates (military only) posted for various CLEP, ECE, and DSST exams, copied the numbers into an Excel spreadsheet, and sorted them by pass rate. I thought it might be useful to me in selecting which tests to attempt, and I figured, since I already did the work, I might as well share. Feel free to use this however you like, and thanks for all the useful advice I have read here and in AED.

    The source for these numbers is
