Description
This guide to the CLEP exams is produced by the creators of the exam (hence the "official" in the title) and is updated yearly. In addition to general info on the program and on taking a CLEP test, other helpful information includes how to approach colleges about accepting CLEP credit and suggestions for deciding which exams to take. There is a section for each of the 34 CLEP exams. These sections include a description of that exam and the knowledge and skills required. This information is quite specific, even to giving percentages. For instance, the biology exam section indicates that 33% of the questions cover molecular and cellular biology, 34% organismal biology, and 33% population biology. There are specific content points under each of these general categories, as well. This is extremely helpful in knowing what to expect and how to prepare. To give you an idea of what I mean, under population biology there are eight principles of ecology; eight principles of evolution; two principles of behavior; and three principles of social biology. Obviously, the CLEP student is going to need a good working knowledge of each of these principles. There are also about 60-80 sample questions in each of these exam sections. Just for grins, I went through the questions for the Humanities CLEP; it looks like I could pass it. My years of homeschooling must have kept the knowledge fresh in my mind! 656 pgs, sc. Janice
Publisher's Description of CLEP Official Study Guide 2022
Like The Official SAT Study Guide(TM), this is the only official study guide for CLEP, developed and published by the test makers. The book has remained the most popular study aid for CLEP exams. Interest in CLEP is high among graduating high school students, adults returning to college, homeschool students and those in online degree programs, active-duty military personnel and military veterans.
Category Description for Clep Testing
Home educated students often undertake advanced studies during their high school years. Correspondingly, college survey (general education) courses repeat a good deal of the material that a student learns in high school but are more compact and concise and go into greater depth. Taking CLEP exams demonstrates that a student has achieved college-level learning outside the classroom. Accordingly, the student isn't required to enroll in certain "general education" courses when they pursue a college degree. Anyone can do the math; this is a less expensive way to earn college credit. I've known homeschooled students who graduated high school with 30 - 60 college credits, thus whittling 1-2 years (and $10 - 30,000) off their college experience. So, how does one accomplish this feat? Five CLEPs cover the material typically taught in introductory courses during the first two years of college. English Composition (with or without an essay), Humanities, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences/History. Here are the steps: become familiar with the exams, contact colleges (to see if they will honor CLEP credits), develop a study plan, arrange to take exams with scores being sent to the college, and contact the college to receive credits. The tests are administered on a computer and scored immediately (except for the essays). Janice
