Luckily I studied the other materials mentioned on Beckysharp's posts (thanks again!) as well as the Excelsior practice tests; I STILL do not feel confident....at all. I kept a running tally of questions I was 100% sure I knew and came up with an even 50. There were probably about 20 others that I was fairly sure on, 20 that were simply "throw a dart blind guesses", and the rest I could narrow down to two answers. I am not panicking as it's really too late now to worry or wonder. I do know that if I fail I will not attempt a retry; the material is just too expansive and the scenarios are VERY vague. My hat is off to anyone getting a good score on this one. More to come when the score comes in.

Magic, how did you fare? Lee

For those that are interested in scoring for ECE exams there is a document called: Excelsior College Exam Tecnhical Handbook 2005. I tried to attached but IC limits prohibited it. It is located under the publications section. I happened upon it by pure chance. It lists all exams and grading criteria.
IE Abnormal Psychology:

Grade Cut Score % Form F % Form G
A 62 14% 20%
B 54 30% 35%
C 45 29% 25%

Also contains information on the two different exams Forms F and G thought Im sure you probably dont know which one your getting. Additionally, if you look you will see the percentage of A's B's and C's differ depending on the form you get. It also includes additional data such as Mean Item Difficulty, Mean Item-Total Correlation (point-biserial) and internal consistancy data, if those items actually mean anything to anyone. Hope this helps.
