What is a CLEP Exam?

CLEP stands for College-Level Examination Program, which is a program offered by the College Board to help students receive college credits before taking a particular college course. Taking and passing a CLEP exam allows you to utilize your current experience and expertise faster and cheaper.

CLEP Registration

You can register for your chosen CLEP exam online via the College Board website.

During the registration process, you will need to pay the $90 exam fee. You will also choose whether to take the exam at a testing center or remotely. If you are taking the exam in-person, you must ensure that you print out your examination ticket once you have completed the registration process.

You can receive a refund for the CLEP exams for up to 7 days after you complete the purchase.

CLEP Scores

CLEP exams are scored so that one point is awarded for each correct answer, and you will not have points taken away for any incorrect answers. You will also not have points taken away if you skip a question altogether.

The number of correct answers you have will be your raw score. The raw score will be converted into a scaled score, which is typically in numeric form ranging from 20 to about 80.

Your unofficial score report will be available on your screen as soon as you finish the exam, and an official report will be made available the next day when you log in to your CLEP account.
