| − | CLEP testing occurs around once a month at participating college sites and military bases. Most exams are 90 minutes, with a few exceptions. Also, unlike AP exams, the vast majority of subject tests are completely multiple choice, making it easier to score higher. The base fee for a test is $72 (as of 2009) with an additional $10 charge if the exam has a writing section. As part of the military's focus on education, there is no charge to servicemembers interested in taking CLEP exams. Testing centers are also allowed to collect a fee to cover the costs of test administration. While the College Board recommends that the administrative charge be around $15, each center has the discretionary authority to set its own administrative charge. | + | CLEP testing occurs around once a month at participating college sites and military bases.
