Nationally standardized tests fall into two general categories: general subject matter exams, e.g. social science and natural science; and specific subject matter examinations, e.g. history of western civilization and college calculus. Currently enrolled degree-seeking students earning satisfactory scores on standardized tests may be awarded credit toward BBCC degrees. Such credit may, if appropriate, be issued to satisfy specific distribution requirements or general electives.
Official score reports must be submitted to BBCC Testing Services for evaluation. No fee is charged for evaluation and awarding of credit for admitted BBCC students.
