The College Level Examination Program (CLEP)[1] provides a way for a student to earn college credit by taking an examination in a specific subject area. Thousands of colleges 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.
The CLEP exam is administered by the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) at thousands of colleges around the country at convenient times, such as one Saturday per month.
