MY bf took a couple of these. Make SURE your school will take them. Double check. Some don't. Some only take certain ones, or up to a certain amount of credits.





^ I've taken them. I think I saved about 6 months of college ( at least 4 -5 classes were covered by my cleps ) total. It's been 8-9 years ago ( yikes that makes me feel old ) because I took them around age 19 right after high school with the hope that I'd remember some info. I didn't study for them and the only one I didn't pass was math. I remember re-taking a humanities one ( it took 2 tries and I got it passed on try 2 with some mild studying) .
You also might want to ask about testing out of classes with other tests. I remember I was able to knock one other class out by taking a history test instead of the class. That one ..... I studied HARD for and barely slid into passing, but I made it! I was able to pass though and it saved me the class time and the tuition cost. I studied 30-40 hours ( studied for 3 weeks pretty hard ).
Basically ... just wanted to post because I HIGHLY recommend these tests. They can save you money and time in school. Get into a GOOD counselers office and push that person for info about these. Once they give you the info, go to someone else and double check it. Do not take just one opinion regarding this stuff and if possible , send follow up emails so the people are accountable for what they tell you. Since you are doing things against the norm ( the norm is pay for class and go ) , there is less training provided that can help you. You might have to fight them hard to get the info you need and get you the RIGHT info. It's worth it.

I took the history one and the literature one. I scored 4/5 and 5/5!
Watch out if you're trying to get a certain GPA to keep in a school or to get accepted into a program. CLEP'd classes, while saving time in school, do not give a GPA. They're merely graded for the colleges as pass/fail and credit earned/not earned. At least, the colleges I've looked into / attended, that's the case. Check with your career counselor or whatever the PC term for them now is, they'll be able to tell you all the extra tidbits that aren't overtly known. It hosed me by not giving the GPA (I was trying to pad the GPA more to get a higher gpa then someone else on a scholarship... pass / fail = epic fail for me :S)





Okay, I took CLEP for all the basic crap when I went to my local 2-year community college. The advisor I spoke with before testing PROMISED me the credits would transfer to Texas Tech when I was ready to transfer to that school. I took English, History, Algebra.. and something else.. I forget. Anyways, so I get to Tech, and they made me take the fucking classes again! And the CLEP test cost as much as the class would have at the college! It was infuriating. So don't just get the word of where ever you're testing, if you plan to transfer anywhere else, talk to an advisor there before you test.





My bf took two of the sciencey ones. He studied the guides, did the books and got an anatomy book to study as well.
And get it in writing. By the time you get wherever, the personnel may have changed, and they may not honor what was said before. Colleges don't like to take transfer credits because they don't make any money off them. Not getting it in writing cost me one degree that I didn't need at the time but would have liked to have had. Years later, the lack of that degree cost me an instructor's position at a university.
Get it in writing.




if you can't find a good clep guide for a subject, see if there's an ap exam guide.
