Hi LatinTea! Welcome to the board =]
Having graduated from a b&m university, I just have a few suggestions to add on to what everyone else has said. In addition to schools accepting or not accepting CLEPs, the amount of credits they accept (from both AP and CLEPs) varies. Therefore, you don't want to take more than allowed. I would suggest that you and your son decide which schools you guys are interested in applying before taking any exams. It would probably be more time-efficient if you worked your schedule around the schools' policies. It'll also help you narrow down which exams to take.
Also, if your son wants to do masters after attending a b&m university, I suggest taking CLEPs/AP exams to fulfill only "general education" requirements, but not requirements for your son's major. Masters programs tend to prefer that a student fulfill their major requirements with b&m classes if they attended a b&m university.
Hope everything works out with you and your son! =]
