Abstract | Abstract While granting college credit by examination seems to be increasing in popularity, few educational researchers seem to be assessing its effect on student educational variables. For this purpose, the transcripts of 349 students who had graduated from the University of Illinois were examined. Among the more important findings were that students who gained proficiency credit tended to graduate with more total credit hours and more credit hours in upper division courses. Both of these results were interpreted as a positive benefit of proficiency testing. Students with proficiency credit also tended to graduate sooner and with higher grade point averages. |
