You Shouldn’t Have to Figure CLEP Out Alone

You know CLEP exams can save you time and money…
but figuring out how to use them feels like trying to read a map in a foreign language.

Every school has its own CLEP policy.

Every major has different rules.

And most advisors? They don’t even mention this option.

You’ve probably found yourself wondering:

Will this credit actually count toward my degree?

What if I take the wrong class and have to redo everything?

Why does no one make this easy?

A stressed college student struggles with CLEP credit planning, unsure which exams will actually save time and tuition costs.

CLEP & College Planning FAQs: Real Answers for Real Families

What is CLEP and how does it work?

CLEP (College-Level Examination Program) allows students to earn real college credit by passing subject-specific exams. It’s like proving you already know the content of a college course—and getting credit for it. CLEP is run by the College Board (same folks behind the SAT), and passing a CLEP exam can save you time, money, and effort on your degree path.

Who can take a CLEP exam? Is it just for college students?

Anyone can take a CLEP exam—high schoolers, homeschoolers, adults going back to school, or current college students. There’s no age limit and no prerequisites. It’s an open door for anyone ready to take smart steps toward their goals.

How much does a CLEP exam cost?

Each CLEP exam costs $93 (as of 2025), plus a small testing center fee (usually $20–$30). But here’s the win: many students qualify for free vouchers through ModernStates.org—a nonprofit that offers free CLEP prep courses AND pays your test fee. That’s a no-brainer opportunity.

Are CLEP exams hard? How do I know if I’m ready?

CLEP exams aren’t easy, but they are passable with preparation. Think of it this way: they test what you'd learn in an entry-level college class. If you already know the material—or you’re willing to study it well—you’re ready. Take the free course at ModernStates.org, do a practice test, and you’ll know where you stand.

Can CLEP exams replace all college classes?

Not all. CLEP is best for general education and lower-division requirements. Most schools limit how many CLEP credits they accept (usually 15–45 credits), and they rarely count toward upper-level major courses. Think of CLEP as your shortcut through the “boring required classes” so you can focus on your passion areas later.

What subjects are available for CLEP testing?

There are 30+ CLEP exams across five categories: History & Social Sciences, Composition & Literature, Science & Math, Business, and World Languages. Common picks include College Algebra, US History, Psychology, and English Composition.
