Your student already knows more than they think. CLEP exams let them turn that knowledge into real college credits, accepted at over 3,000 colleges and universities. No age minimum. No classroom required.
Each CLEP exam is worth 3 to 6 college credits. Many homeschool students earn 15 to 30 credits before they ever set foot on campus, saving a full year (or more) of college tuition.
Study at your own pace, on your own time. No semester deadlines, no commute, no waiting. Your student can prepare for a CLEP exam in as little as 2 to 4 weeks and take it when they are ready.
History, literature, psychology, government... your curriculum already covers many CLEP subjects. These exams let your student prove college-level knowledge with a recognized credential.
For $20/month, your student gets access to all 60+ study guides. Study for multiple exams back to back. Some students pass a new exam every few weeks.
Over 40,000 passing scores reported since 2002. Join the families already using CLEP to get ahead.

There is no age requirement to take a CLEP exam. Students can begin earning college credits as soon as they are ready, whether that is age 14 or 18.
Your student does not need to be enrolled in a traditional school. CLEP is open to everyone, including homeschooled students, and no school code or counselor signature is needed to register.
Students need a government-issued photo ID to test. If your student is under 21 and does not have one, the College Board provides a free Student ID Form that works as an alternative.
Over 3,000 U.S. colleges and universities accept CLEP credits. Check your target school's CLEP policy to confirm which exams they accept and the scores required.
According to the College Board, students who earn CLEP credits perform as well or better in later courses than students who took the introductory class. CLEP students also tend to have higher GPAs.
Students with documented disabilities can request testing accommodations through the College Board, including extended time and other modifications.
