How do you use one of those schools that accept it for 8 credits to benefit you? Other than graduating there.
We are all on the same side here, trying to better our lives....so let's get along and help each other out.
Learn a trade. Gain technical skills. Make money, then use this money to get a degree...if you have the desire.

I took this exam but had my teens take SL 1 and 2. There is a TON of writing with SL.....which is why I had my teens do it. If you can learn college writing on your own, then test out- but if you're going to take college classes through a college or attend grad school, you 'll need to learn how to do college writing at some point because you'll be required to do so.
regarding science, there are a lot of colleges that award 8 credits for science CLEPs, it's not that unusual. The communtiy college I taught at for 18 years did too, but it's a trade off, because they had(have) a 15 credit residency requirement. Chasing those extra 2 credits is a rabbit hole.
