CLEP Tests
The College-Level Examination Program or CLEP Examinations.
CLEP examinations cover material taught in courses that most students take as requirements in the first two years of college. A college usually grants the same amount of credit to students earning satisfactory scores on the CLEP examination as it grants to students successfully completing that course.
Many examinations are designed to correspond to one-semester courses; some, however, correspond to full-year or two-year courses. Unless stated otherwise in its description, an examination is intended to cover material in a one-semester course. Each exam is 90 minutes long, and except for English Composition with Essay, is made up primarily of multiple-choice questions; however, some exams do have fill-ins.
CLEP provides students of any age the opportunity to demonstrate college-level achievement through a program or exams in undergraduate college courses. There are 2,900 colleges that grant credit and/or advanced standing for CLEP exams.
Save Time
Get college credit for what you already know. Be rewarded for what you’ve learned through independent study, advanced high school courses, noncredit adult courses, or professional development.
Save Money
Compare the cost of a CLEP exam, just $55, to hundreds – even thousands – of dollars in tuition.
Make College More Interesting
Move right into advanced courses.
Graduate on Time
CLEP can help you to the finish line if you’re a few credits shy of graduating.
Satisfy a Proficiency Requirement
Demonstrate you’ve already mastered the content of, for example, a basic math or language course. Great for dual-degree candidates or students just a few credits shy of graduation.
