What CLEP tests are available?
CLEP (College Level Examination Program) CLEP is a computer-based exam designed to test knowledge equivalent to that attained by specific classes. The Office of Testing administers all available CLEP tests; it is up to the student to determine which test they take and to make sure that it is accepted at the institution of their choice.
What are the pass rates for the CLEP?
Generally, only 50 out of 80 is needed to pass a CLEP exam, which comes out to a grade of 63%. The catch is that a CLEP test will appear as a “P” for “pass” on your transcript whether you get a 50 or an 80. Since CLEP exams cover such a broad range of concepts, you are not expected to pass with flying colors.
Where to take CLEP test?
CLEP exams are available year-round. Test centers may be located in high schools, on college campus, at independent testing organizations, and on military bases. Although there are no official CLEP courses in high school, there are several ways your child can prepare to earn college credit through CLEP.
