Or Any Other Credit by Exam?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In today\u2019s instant world, it seems everyone wants to get where they are going\u2014faster. Perhaps you\u2019re an undergraduate student looking to test out of some of your general coursework. Or, maybe, you\u2019ve just returned to school for career advancement and want to progress quickly through material you are already familiar with and still need credit for. That\u2019s where the concept of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petersons.com\/testprep\/college-test-prep\/credit-by-exam\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Credit by Exam<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (CLEP tests, DSST, AP, etc.) comes into play. CLEP exams stand for College Level Examination Program, a collection of standardized tests that measure your knowledge of specific subjects via tests for credit. Students can earn college credit at thousands of colleges and universities by scoring satisfactorily on a computer-based CLEP test. So, why take a credit by exam test?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saving Money<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CLEP exams allow students to bypass lengthy courses by testing them on subjects they may already be familiar with. A CLEP exam usually costs $95, while the average price of one credit hour at a public university is ~$400. A local community college costs ~$150 per credit hour. This means you can get three credit hours by taking CLEP exams for a smaller price than courses at almost any institution. One of Peterson\u2019s users, Tayah, earned 52 College Credits using Peterson&#8217;s CLEP and DSST Test Prep. She accomplished her goal of graduating from college early and saved thousands of dollars without stepping foot in a classroom with CLEP testing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accelerating Your Degree and Career<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like Tayah, CLEP tests can help students graduate early and save time on coursework, making it especially valuable. Time-saving benefits anyone, especially adult learners seeking to advance their careers or change fields with the flexibility and convenience of taking exams on demand. An entire semester\u2019s course credits can be completed in the one 90-120 minute test session with about 6 weeks\u2019 worth of prep, depending on your familiarity with the subject matter.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preparing for CLEP Exams: Practice and Resources<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thorough preparation for CLEP exams can be the difference between a score that grants credit and one that doesn\u2019t. Be mindful of effective study strategies, like practice tests, to help gauge where you are in your study efforts. CLEP exam practice tests are available through a Peterson subscription for all of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petersons.com\/testprep\/clep\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peterson\u2019s CLEP courses<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Use Peterson CLEP practice tests to identify strengths and weaknesses while making distinct progress towards your study efforts with CLEP practice questions and sample CLEP exams.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Does CLEP Work?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing which colleges and universities offer credit for CLEP exams is essential. A college or university in your area likely offers credit, but you should confirm by contacting the school before you take an exam. Then, review the list of CLEP exams to determine which ones are most relevant to your desired degree and your knowledge base.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve confirmed that your school offers credit for CLEP exams, you can request that a copy of your score report be sent from the College Board to the school you attend or plan to attend. The school will evaluate your score and determine whether to award you credit for or to exempt you from the relevant course.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the school awards you credit, the number of credits you have earned (ranging from 3 to 9, depending on the test subject) are recorded on your permanent record, indicating that you completed work equivalent to a course in that subject. If the school exempts you from the course without credit, you can replace that course with your choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take heart if you don\u2019t score enough points on the exam to earn credit from your school. You can retake the exam three months after the initial exam date. Even after paying the fee again, you\u2019ll still come ahead regarding time, money, and credit when you pass the exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Register for a CLEP Exam<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow these steps to register for a CLEP exam:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sign in to My Account at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/prod.idp.collegeboard.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/prod.idp.collegeboard.org<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to choose your exam and the school(s) you want to receive your scores. Test takers may send score reports to two institutions for free when registering. Each additional institution has a $20 fee per score report.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pay for your exam(s).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Print your registration ticket.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedule your exam at your preferred test center.

Contact a test center directly to schedule the exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CLEP Test Centers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can find CLEP testing locations at community colleges and universities nationwide.

Remember that some colleges and universities administer CLEP exams only to enrolled students or waive administration fees for military service members whose exam fees are funded by DANTES. CLEP testing is also available to service members at military installations worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CLEP Exams with Remote Proctoring<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Test takers can take CLEP exams at home with remote proctoring. Remote proctored CLEP exams have the exact timing, content, format, and on-screen experience as those administered at a test center. Go to the College Board website for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/clep.collegeboard.org\/about-remote-proctoring\/take-clep-exam-remote-proctoring\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">registration and eligibility details<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explore <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petersons.com\/testprep\/clep\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CLEP<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and other credit-by-exam options, making prep a part of your strategy to get college credit with flexibility.
