The University of Texas at Austin has a very limited CLEP acceptance policy and tends to require higher scores. College Search - University of Texas at Austin - UT - SATÂ, APÂ, CLEPÂ
TAMU has a far more liberal policy.
Since you are in Texas, you'd be better off getting CLEP and DSST credits at a community college and getting Core Complete recorded on your official transcript. Core credits posted to an official community college credit by law must transfer if the community college transcript says Core Complete. Better yet, take 18 hours at the community college and get an associate's degree. Then transfer to any public university in Texas. If you take this approach, you can transfer CLEP hours using tests that the university wouldn't otherwise accept.
