D. All Of The Above Are True

So What Is The Correct Answer. I Have Never Hit That Button After Completing A Clep Test And I Really Do Not Know Its' True Pluses Or Minuses And I May Not Even Know How To Spell The Plural Form Of Plus Or Minus!! Insight On The Do Not Report Button ??

Thanks..ron

Ron,

Only A and B are correct.

At the point where you have already taken the test, you really have NOTHING to lose by 'flipping the coin' and hitting the final "Report Score" button. You know that sometimes your final score ends up being higher than you expected in the few moments prior to clicking the final button. But if you hit "Do Not Report", you will never know...it is basically the equivalent of INTENTIONALLY FAILING YOURSELF (even if you actually passed the exam).

If you click "Report Score":

A) You will know for sure whether you failed or passed.
B) You may well have earned your 6 credits.
C) You may not have wasted your $70.00 fees.
D) You can have Excelsior ignore the score if you failed.
E) You can take the exam again in 6 months if you failed.
F) You won't need to take the exam again if you passed.

If you click "Do Not Report":

A) You will DEFINITELY fail (even if you actually passed).
B) You will DEFINITELY lose your $70.00 (even if you actually passed).
C) You will DEFINITELY have to wait 6 months (even if you actually passed).
D) You will NEVER know whether you actually passed or not.

Take the test, do the best that you can...then hit "Report Score".

That's my advice!
