Fact Sheets

Fact Sheets outline the topics covered by each test and includes a list of sample questions, a list of recommended references of books that would be useful for review, and the number of credits awarded for a passing score as recommended by the American Council on Education (ACE®). Please note that some schools require scores that are higher than the minimum ACE-recommended passing score. It is suggested that you check with your college or university to determine what score they require in order to earn credit.
