How can I find out specifics about the Clep Tests?

[req64089]

I heard you could find out details about the Clep tests as in how many questions there are and how long the test is, etc. Does anyone know anything about this? It would be greatly appreciated. Getting ready to take 1st Clep test and am very nervous about it.

Thank you!

Everything you need to know about the specific exams can be found on the official site here--> CLEP: Exam Descriptions

In addition to that you could pay for IC and have access to the specific feedback section of these forums which has pretty detailed descriptions from previous test takers.

Thanks for the info! I do appreciate it! I am paying for IC, but am still trying to learn the navigation.

Thanks again!

It took me quite awhile to figure out the navigation of this site. As a result, I try to answer these types of questions.

Once you have signed in the first time, you have access to the IC cards but if you want to see discussion forums you then will click on Discussions. Once that loads, you will see only 3 forums but on the right-hand side is another place for you to sign in a second time if you are a member. Use the same information. Once that loads, you will see a fourth forum -- Specific Exam Feedback. This is where you can see the information that others who have taken the tests before share their experiences, books and links to where they found helpful information to prepare, and after the test sometimes people with very good memories will point our areas that you should make sure to study. This shared information in extremely valuable.

Again, if you look to the right hand side you will see a second search location that allows you to search that specific forum -- meaning you can put in the subject matter you are interested in. For example, if you are interested in taking the CLEP Intro to Sociology, you could type in Sociology and it will bring you to any and all threads that the word sociology has shown up in. Then you can scan that page and find the thread that is for the test you are interested in.

Happy hunting.
