One of my friends has her kids take CLEP exams for college credit. What is CLEP? These are cumulative assessments for college credit. Like AP or Advanced Placement, kids can test out of college classes and earn credit towards a degree. CLEP, like AP, and SAT exams are sponsored by College Board. It pays to buy a guide for a CLEP test through the College Board Store. CLEP exams are $93 and the guides are $10. Be sure to check that the college accepts CLEP credit. (Check here to see if your teen’s college of interest accepts CLEP for credit.) This can be a terrific way to reduce the costs for college. If your teen is not planning a career in science, he or she may want to CLEP out of Biology or Chemistry. It’s worth a shot!
