Does your community college offer challenge exams?

In my experience at a community college, the challenge exam is to waive you from a required course. Such as taking the college algebra challenge exam so you test out of the course. You don't receive credit for it and typically take a higher level course such as Calc I or if it's something like English, you take an additional English or humanities course. Challenge exams frequently get you out of taking a remedial course.

It sounds like you're looking for something that awards credit. That would be an UExcel exam. Pearson offers them and some others. CLEP exams. TECEP exams. None of these are through community colleges though. All aren't available online either.
