College Level Examination Program (view source)
Revision as of 21:49, March 30, 2015
, 21:49, March 30, 2015→CLEP v. AP: AP does cover some subjects outside typical GE, such as music theory, various cultures, languages, etc., as well as visual art nd probably others I'm forgetting.
Although AP test centers are required to be available to [[homeschoolers]], the process for participation by homeschoolers can be difficult depending on the local [[public school]]. Early planning and substantial fees are required.

Another difference between the CLEP and AP exams is subject breadth. With 36 CLEP subjects and 31 AP subjects, both tests have a similar number of subjects. But CLEP subjects branch out beyond core GE areas and cover a broader spectrum of academic departments, in contrast with the AP exams. CLEP exams also have less [[testing bias]] than AP exams.
