How to Burn Through Your Freshman & Sophomore Years with CLEP College Credit



How to Burn Through Your Freshman & Sophomore Years with CLEP College Credit

The College-Level Examination Program® or CLEP is a little known secret for most however those that are aware of it, speed through their freshman and sophomore years while playing a lot more, and spending a lot less. The CLEP tests or exams are proficiency tests that are relatively easy to pass and enable you to earn college level credit for entire classes, for about $60, saving you perhaps thousands in tuition costs. Burn through those annoying prerequisites i.e. English, History, Math, Biology and Chemistry and go straight to your upper division units. And virtually every school accepts them.

Private schools and public schools alike accept the CLEP exam. Over 2900 colleges and universities from City Colleges to State Universities, even Vocational Schools up to Ivy League Universities.

For example, you can take a look at all of the schools in California, including the entire California State University (CSU) system that accepts the CLEP by visiting this link here. Some of these schools offer exams to test out of classes, however some don’t. But this is almost better as one can virtually walk in to school with over 100 units of college level credit – completing virtually all of their lower division requirements, something more or less equivalent to an Associates Degree.

This is something you should probably consider if you’re looking for a way to fast track your college timeline. If you’re still in high school, it would be a great way to get some of your college courses out of the way. You’ll likely need to study a bit, but these are College 101 type classes, and for the most part entry level studies. Preparation and review is the key to taking and passing these CLEP tests, and there are many places you can go. College Board is where you want to start, then find one of the 1400 test centers around the country, spend 90 minutes, and your semester is over!

Imagine this, have you ever had a report that was too thick for your average stapler and your next step was a larger industrial size stapler that required a larger piece of equipment?

What about this, you’re a home office consultant looking for new ways to package and present a quote or summary.
