CLEP Unethical?

[ryoder]

It is about as unethical as having a high school student take an AP course or enter into the IB program.
If you check out any college website, they will generally have a page where they show you how CLEP/DSST/AP/IB tests articulate to their college courses.
Some schools grant no credit for Natural Science or Social Science since they are too broad.
USF here in Tampa grants only 3 CR for Biology while other schools in this city grant 6CR for bio and 8CR for Natural Science. USF also grants elective credit for the Management and Marketing exams where UT in Tampa grants direct Principles of Management and Marketing credit.

So go check out the school you are looking at and decide which tests will help you realize your goals.

Many of those who criticize CLEP tests have never taken one and don't know how much effort it takes to learn the content and pass. I for one, love CLEP/DSST tests and would like to take all of them since I have learned so much and enjoyed studying for them.
