CLEP: College Level Examination Program
Overview
The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) allows individuals to demonstrate their college-level knowledge gained through various means such as coursework, independent study, cultural activities, travel, military training, and professional development. Administered at numerous testing centers on college and university campuses, CLEP offers a series of exams to evaluate this knowledge.
Acceptance and Benefits
More than 2,900 colleges and universities recognize CLEP exams, providing students the opportunity to earn credits for courses typically completed within the first two years of college. This program is particularly beneficial for high school and university students aiming to accelerate their academic progress.
Test Format
CLEP exams vary in design, with some corresponding to one-semester courses and others to full-year or two-year courses. Most exams are intended to cover the material of a one-semester course, last 90 minutes, and include multiple-choice questions. The English Composition with Essay is an exception, incorporating essay writing.
Scoring and Credit
The American Council on Education (ACE) recommends minimum scores for earning credit, but each institution sets its own standards for acceptable scores and credits awarded. Generally, colleges and universities grant the same credit for successful CLEP exam scores as they do for completing the equivalent course.
Administration
Managed by the College Board, a nonprofit organization also responsible for administering the SAT and AP tests, CLEP exams transitioned to a computer-based format in July 2001. Today, over 1,300 institutions offer these eCBT tests.
Costs and Military Benefits
Each CLEP test costs $65, but they are free for military personnel. While test fees for eligible military and civilian candidates are funded upfront by DANTES, examinees must cover any non-refundable registration fees charged by test centers, typically ranging from $15 to $25.
By leveraging CLEP exams, students can efficiently validate their learning and accelerate their educational journey, making it a valuable resource in today's academic landscape.
