How do you know about CLEP?

[Shark101]

I talk to people all the time who have never heard of CLEP, and they tell me, "Wow, why didn't anyone tell me about this while I was in college? I could have saved so much time and money!"

AP Exams in high schools have grown exponentially in the last ten years, but CLEP exams have stayed pretty much the same for the last thirty years. Why is that?

The problem is, if you try to tell random people about it on the internet, they think it's too good to be true--it's just another internet gimmick.

How did YOU learn about CLEP?

My theory is, if you could mass-communicate the benefits of CLEP, it would revolutionize the college industry, as students spend time in college focusing on courses relevant to their major instead of having to waste time on all of the general ed requirements.

I learned abot clep from my educational service officer in the military. I agree general ed courses should be cleped, and a person should foscus on their major.
