EC Exam question

Published

If a person fails an EC exam or prereq course. Can you continue to the next module and come back to that one (since you have to wait 6 months) or are you stuck on that module until you pass?

I just signed up with College Network and was stunned to find that if you fail a Dantes or Clep test that you have to wait 6 WHOLE months! Is that crazy or what? Why so long?

although i have never failed a exam i feel almost 100% certain that you can continue and then come back to the exam you need to repeat.

Yeah, I agree with txspadequeen921 -- I've never failed one either (thank goodness!), but you can go in any order you choose with regard to the exams. People have said that they've moved on and completed several others before going back to the one they failed.

Currently it's 60 days after the first attempt. After the second failed attempt at the same exam, it's 120 days.

Military students seeking DANTES funding have to wait six months after a fail.
