CLEP My Account

[BGSU_Alum_86]

OMG, My Account disappoints me tremendously! Have any of you checked it out? When creating an account, you are actually creating a CollegeBoard account which then makes it seem as though you can only check out info on SAT, AP, PSAT, etc. You have to click back to CLEP's homepage and now you should see "My Account" listed above the Search box. Once you select one of the options (Manage Profile, My Exams, My Orders), you will be asked to log in -- again!

If you want to register and pay for an exam, select My Orders. Scroll down until you see "Recent Orders" and you should see the link under the box if you want to "order a CLEP exam" (also a link to "order CLEP materials"). You will now see what looks like the same screens as when you look up the exam details/info only CLEP added selection boxes for ordering the exam ($80), the exam's study guide ($10), or the CLEP Official Study Guide book ($24.99), plus the free At a Glance download offered for every exam.

You do not designate your score recipient until you are working through the process (long) of paying for this registered exam! I was thinking this process would be similar to DSST, but it is nowhere close. I was at least hoping that the score recipient info would be kept on your profile (Manage Profile), but it is not. You can, however, designate your "preferred test center", though that is not required.

At least initially, this seems a painful process. I keep wondering about the sample group of people who tested this out before its launch.

I would love to hear your thoughts after you give it a try...
