Standards on such examinations correspond to those set for students in the courses offered. Preparation for testing may consist of previous study, traditional course work, or student-initiated self-study. A grade of Q is recorded for a successful challenge examination.

In general, a student must achieve a score of Fifty (50) or above on an exam to receive credit for one course.
