CLEP offers computer-based exams in 34 subjects. These 90-minute exams (exams with an essay component take additional time) are administered at our official in house CLEP test center.
Exams are scored immediately upon completion of the exam unless an essay is involved. Essays are scored on a monthly basis, and scores are sent following that process. Students can also view their scores one business day after taking their exam by logging in to the provided web portal.
There are no preset exam administration dates, so exams can be taken year-round when students are ready.
CLEP score results can be sent to one college or university selected during registration. Additional score results can be sent at a later date for a $20 fee.
CLEP and AP are both College Board examinations, but they function very differently. There are no "CLEP Courses" or College Board–developed curriculum. CLEP is meant to assess learning regardless of where that learning occurred.
Students interested in business courses. The business suite of CLEP exams can help students earn credit in introductory business courses.
