Clep Testing--It's The Quick Way To Earn Your Degree

By: Wayne Hemrick

Testing out of introductory college courses can save you a great deal of time and money. If you have some knowledge in a particular subject area, earned through life experience, other work, internship or volunteer experience, or through other coursework that you have taken, you might want to look into clep testing as a way to advance through your coursework to the completion of your college degree.

The Clep, which stands for College Level Examination Program, is a series of exams in thirty four different subject areas. If the college you attend offers credit for a successful clep exam score, you can earn from three to twelve credits simply by passing the exam. The fee for taking the exam is much less than the typical tuition you will pay to sit through a course as well. Each college sets its own policy regarding which tests they will accept for credit and how much credit will be awarded for a passing grade, so you will need to check with your educational institution to find out the details.

Clep testing usually takes around two hours, although some tests take less time. The exams are timed, so you might want to take some sample practice tests to see how you do. Many people choose to use a clep study guide as part of their clep prep.

A clep study guide can make your clep study much easier, because it helps you determine what you need to study. Online clep study is also valuable to the busy student. You can find study questions and sample tests available in online clep study guides.

If you have an already extensive grasp of the subject, a simple brush up might be all you need to pass your clep with flying colors. InstantCert offers a program of online flashcards, with sample test questions and answers. You can keep track of any answers that you miss, and do a little additional reading on that specific topic to help you understand it better and improve your clep testing score.

Online clep study that focuses on sample tests are often timed. This is a good thing for the student, because it gives you a chance to pace yourself as you answer the questions. You will be able to see what it feels like on test day before you get into that stressful situation, which will help you be better prepared.

Other information about what you will expect to find on the exam is also available through the College Board website. For each test, they list what will be covered and they also give suggestions for how to study so that your clep testing will be successful.
