CLEP scores may be sent to other colleges for credit to be awarded.

The American Council on Education (ACE) recommends that the minimum score for awarding credit be the mean test score of students who earn a grade of “C” in the applicable course.

Must pass the separate ECC institutional essay portion of the test. These are created and graded by the ECC English Department and are separate from the multiple choice Modular Exam.
