Nearly 3,000 [[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. At least one ''Conservapedian'' student was able to skip a year of college (and save a year's worth of college tuition plus the opportunity cost of a year's wages) based on CLEP exams. | Nearly 3,000 [[college]]s recognize this program, but their rules for granting credit vary widely.
