Earn College Credit.
Achieve Your Goals.
The College Board’s College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) has
been the most widely trusted credit-by-examination program for nearly
50 years, accepted by 2,900 colleges and universities and administered
in more than 1,800 test centers. These exams allow students to test
their mastery of college-level material in introductory subjects and
earn college credit. Students can earn credit and get closer to achieving
their educational goals by earning qualifying scores on one or more
CLEP exams.
How do I get credit for CLEP?
When you take a CLEP exam, you can select the institution that should
receive your scores. An ofcial score report will automatically be
forwarded to the school. You will also receive an unofcial copy of your
score for your records immediately after the examination (except for
College Composition).
If you do not indicate where you would like your score sent when you
register, you can always request a transcript at a later time for a fee.
Just submit the Transcript Request Form — it’s available on the CLEP
website, clep.collegeboard.org/about/score.
How do I prepare for a CLEP exam?
Information on CLEP exam practice materials can be found on the
CLEP website, clep.collegeboard.org/test-preparation. You can also
review sample test questions, exam topics, and other suggested
study resources.
