I planned on taking my tests in May and trying to retake them in November if I don't pass the first time. I read online that if you use the retest policy of 3 months, you would have to have an academic dean or someone send a letter to clep? Can you provide me with the link for the new retesting policy? My advisor didn't say anything about a maximum. I'll make sure to ask him and double check with the registrars office about those policies and DSSTs. I asked about that(we were speaking through email) and never got a response on my question about DSST credits. Thank you for giving me the heads up on that. And Austin Peay State University in Tennessee is where I'll be attending in the Spring.
Thank you for your encouragement!
I should have read ahead .
No, you don't need to send a letter. If you were to fail, and retest inside of the 3 months, CLEP would just void your score and you'd lose your money. If you are outside the 3 months, you get a score.
Also, what your advisor says isn't important, please - please - please have them direct you to the written policy you need. Whether it's test out max, or something else. Your school DOES have it written down, it's either on their website or in a college document, in any event, you need to have it.
So, to answer some of my own questions, this is your college's policy page Austin Peay State University : CLEP - College Level Examination ProgramÂ
If your home college doesn't have good testing center hours, you can take the exam at ANY testing center you want. Your school has a good fee of only $15, many schools charge more.
