This special report documents the results of the program of credit by examination offered at the University of Texas at Austin during the 1984-1985 testing year. The data present a basis for a comprehensive picture of the impact of the program on this campus. The examinations covered 64 subject areas with 234 courses taught by 39 departments/divisions in nine colleges and schools of the university: Business Administration, Communication, Education, Engineering, Fine Arts, Liberal Arts, Natural Sciences, Nursing, and Social Work. Evaluation of 24,069 test scores is recorded in this report. On 11,816 (49%) of these tests, students achieved scores high enough to qualify for 63,620 semester hours of credit eligibility. Conversely, on 12,253 (51%) of these tests, students' scores were too low to warrant credit by examination. During 1984-1985, there was an 11% increase over the preceding year in the number of test scores evaluated; it was accompanied by a 14% increase in the number of semester hours of credit eligibility. Across the five years, from 1980-1981 through 1984-1985, there was a 14% increase in the number of test scores evaluated and a 46% increase in the number of semester hours of credit eligibility earned by the candidates for credit by examination.
