I found a summary of a study done on clep and non clep students. I posted an exerpt and a link below.
"Overall, CLEP students had more favorable academic outcomes than nonCLEP students.
Overall, after controlling for demographics and prior achievement, CLEP students:
graduated about 1 semester sooner
enrolled in approximately a half semester less
graduated with approximately 1.5 fewer credits
had GPAs approximately 0.15 points higher than nonCLEP students."
A Comparison of CLEP and nonCLEP Students with Respect to Time to Degree, Number of School Credits, GPA, and Number of Semesters

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
