I recently got an email from modernstates.org that said if you complete any of the free Modern States courses, they will pay for your CLEP exam and testing fee! I don't know how long that will last but if you take every single exam that's potentially I think 81 free credits. Obviously, not all of them would fit into a degree plan!
The courses are composed of video lectures from professors, free online textbooks, and practice problems.
Also, CLEP recommends them under their Study Resources section.
I've been enjoying them and definitely recommend you check them out!
Has anyone else been using them?

I'm definitely pursuing this. I was going to wait to verify that I get a waiver before sharing but yeah, seems like a rad deal!

Has anyone actually got their AP/CLEP exams paid by them? Too bad none of those are UL (Upper Level)
I couldn't find it on their webpage, but do they also handle DSST? I doubt it , just asking... I won't signup!
Most if not all of the credits they have duplicate what I already have taken; it'll be great for those starting.

I would love to do some free CLEPs! I just wish I had a closer testing center. Because of the location of the center, I am better off paying $25/exam for Saylors in many cases, but I really need CLEP A&I Lit and could probably do a few others depending on the test center time/date flexibility

I'm glad this helps! It is pretty awesome. No, they don't have DSST right now

I emailed them and they said once I told them I completed the course they would waive it.
You do need to create an account but that's free too!

Below is the full text of the email that I received dated 4/13/17. ~Jenny
[INDENT]Dear Learner,
Did you ever wish you had a math teacher who could simplify complex problems and make them interesting? Meet Professor James Murphy of Johns Hopkins, who teaches two courses: College Mathematics and the newest Freshman Year for Free class â Precalculus.
Both courses are available now as part of Modern States âFreshman Year for Freeâ program. You will find the Math courses and others on ModernStates.org, giving you a way to prepare for exams leading to college credit.
For a limited time, Modern States will also cover the $80 cost of the CLEP (College Level Examination Program) exam fee. When you complete a course, simply email Whitney@ModernStates.org to request a payment voucher for the CLEP exam.
After you pass an exam, thousands of traditional colleges will give you course credit, enabling you to graduate sooner and at a lower cost.
Work hard, good luck, and remember, we are rooting for you!
David Vise
Executive Director[/INDENT]
