Scoring and Credit

The CLEP Information Systems exam is scored by a computer that gives you one point per correct answer. This number is considered your “raw score”. Your raw score is then converted to scaled score from 20-80. This is the score on your score report. While The American Council on Education (ACE) recommends granting credit for scores 50 and above, individual institutions can set their own scores for which they grant credit. Most institutions provide their CLEP score policy on their websites.
