Ask yourself the following questions to figure out if taking a CLEP exam is right for you:
Does my college or university accept the CLEP exam subject I’m interested in taking?
Does the CLEP exam I'm interested in taking fulfill a degree requirement?
Have I already gained knowledge in any of the CLEP exam subjects through a previous course, independent reading and study, work, or other experience?
Am I looking for ways to reduce my college tuition bill?
Do I need to earn my degree in a shorter amount of time?
Do I have other obligations such as family and/or work that require me to have more flexibility in earning college credit for my degree?
If you answered yes to some of these questions, you could benefit from a CLEP exam.
