The '''College Level Examination Program''' (CLEP)<ref>http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/clep/about.html</ref> provides a way for a [[student]] to earn [[college credit]] by taking an [[examination]]in a specific subject area.  Thousands of [[college]]s recognize this program, but their rules for granting credit vary widely.  Some colleges do not recognize this program so it is important to check first prior to investing the time and money in this examination.  But even if your preferred college does not accept this as credit, it can look very good on an application, particularly by a [[homeschool]] student who may have relatively little classwork information.
