Testing centers are at least a couple hundreds of kilometers away from me. Couldn't I use a US P.O. box as an address or do they require SSN? I don't understand this business of making it so damn hard for non-US people to work on their degree. I don't expect any financial aid, I just don't understand why taking a test at home has to be based in the US.
Why would non-US folks be reimbursed? Modern States is a US based charity trying to help freshman complete more credits at a savings. This program really seems to be aimed at high school/early college age students who are lower income, first college students in their family, etc type of need. Many of us in the US are an hour or more from a testing facility thus don't take CLEP exams. CLEP centers where I live have been closed since early March 2020 and are not reopen yet. We still have libraries not even open to the pubic. The DMV is closed except for appointments which are 6-8 weeks out. It's pretty crazy.
