It seems outside of CLEPT some colleges will accept it, some wont, and other colleges might say this course is no longer accept as this test. Like with this DSST thing. I actually met with my CC counselor just today to talk about transferring into the university level. I have some free credits I also have to fill so I want to make sure certain classes are university accepted like "ART 01: Art History" or "SOC 01: Intro to Sociology" which is pretty much accepted everywhere but some courses dont even apply to an associate degree. Anyhow, she told me straight out to not take any tests accept for CLEPT. Now of course she's on the UC system mentality and we're in a world of our own going the non-traditional route. But seeing this tread really convinces me testing out at times is not worth taking the class instead.
Had I listened to your counselor, I would still be without a degree; instead of graduated, with a high paying job and starting a Master's program. Don't let one dispute between one student and one school regarding ONE test, discourage you from seeking credits. The best thing to do is to email your advisor, get their go ahead for an exam and then take that exam.
CLEPS Passed: 10 DSST Passed: 11 TECEPS: 1

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.
