What % of people finish?

When I was in highschool, I had no idea AP courses could get you college credit. I thought they were just harder versions of normal courses, which sounded dumb to me. I didn't learn about CLEPs until I was in the service.

Actually, the first time I went to my local CC to do a CLEP, they were doing college tours for newcomers from highschool and as they passed me I heard him talking about how you can also do CLEPs at the testing center to save lots of time and money by testing out of courses and I saw most of the students rolling their eyes.

Your high school didn't tell you that AP courses get an extra point? For example, an "A" in an AP course is worth five credits instead of four.

Most of the college graduates I've talked to either never heard of CLEP, or they heard it in passing without knowing what it was. Ironically, on this forum, I'm starting to see a growing aversion to CLEP and other CBEs. That's fine. A lot of people hate high-stakes testing, but I remember people racking up credits faster when they mostly relied on tests.

The CCs I attended never told me about CLEP.
