Instructions

  1. Choose an Exam

    Visit the CLEP exam topics page and choose the exam you want to take. Go to the page for that exam to see what the exam covers, what it costs, and resources to help you prepare for it. (If you’re familiar with several exam topics and having trouble deciding, no worries, multiple exams can be purchased during the same transaction.)

    Click the Register button, once you’ve decided on an exam
