"As of October 17, 2014, the waiting period is three months. Please note that this policy is in effect only for students who test on October 17, 2014 or after. For students who test prior to October 17, the waiting period to retake an exam is six months."
Good luck on your next exams!
Nice~ i have a question about retaking a clep.
If i pass after retaking it, does the failed record still show on the transcript when i send it to TESC later?

No it is my understanding that the College Board transcribe only passing grades so only your pass grades will be submitted. So failed CLEP doesn't show like a failed class does on your TESC transcript.
Don't forget that gaining college credit by taking exams is one of the reason's we're here. That's mainly possible through the flashcards made available by the owner of this forum :
InstantCert Plus of course your hard work in learning and reviewing

When you request your full transcript later, you have the option (it's a beautiful thing) of selecting the box "only send passing scores."
No worries! Funny thing, same company (College Board) but if you take AP exams, those allllllllll get saved and sent.

I appreciate the tips, however a few of these I have not seen anywhere on the instantcert flash cards for us history 1, so that makes me nervous about how well prepared I can be just using ic.

There is "prepared" enough to pass the exam (typically equivalent to a 'C' student's work) vs. enough to ace the exam. If you are typically an 'A' level student, you may have a tough time realizing when you have studied enough. Also realize that there are extra questions on every CLEP exam that are not even scored - you won't know which ones are the ones to be scored, but just realize this situation does exist.
