Happy 2024! I hope the new year has started well for you. What if you could earn 1 year of college for free? Most high school students are familiar with the College Board’s Advanced Placement (AP) exams, but do you know about CLEP exams that earn you college credit? CLEP stands for College Level Examination Program, and these exams are administered by the College Board. Passing a CLEP exam earns you college credit that is accepted at 2,900+ colleges.
The College Board offers CLEP exams for 34 courses, covering social sciences, history, languages, business, sciences, mathematics, composition, and literature. CLEP exams are proctored (observed) and can be taken at CLEP centers or taken remotely. Depending on the course, exams are multiple-choice and take between 90-120 minutes. Most exam results are given immediately after completion.
Important things to keep in mind when taking CLEP exams:
- CLEP exams (unlike Advanced Placement exams) can only be taken in the United States.
- The passing score to earn college credit varies by college/university.
- Students may retake the same course exam only once every three months.
