I agree with the points already made.
The biggest reason that students avoid ModernStates/CLEP seems to be if they are nervous about tests and don't want to take 1 big exam. They would rather have untimed portions and/or many shorter timed portions.
Of course, there are also some Study.com/SL/etc courses that aren't available through CLEP. There might be some CLEP which aren't available through other providers yet. I'm not sure.
Also, CLEP language exams seem to be difficult, especially because it can be hard to hear the recordings at a test center. Sometimes native speakers say they are challenging.
