How do you know about CLEP?

[Ruddigore]

It isn't in the financial intrests of most schools to advertise CLEP and similar programs, though I think they should have a different attitude. For example, my new university set a cap of 30 credits by any one means of credit by examination(either CLEP, AP, or department examination). I think this is fair.

Oh, I think it is in the financial interests of schools to advertise the CLEP program and remove the cap -- at least, it certainly will be. If the college that my best friend is going to did not have an examination credit cap of the normal loathsome 30, I would consider going there for my highest level classes. EC, TESC, and C Oak, have quite a monopoly is this area, and will until other colleges come to the light.

I think it is up to us to help spread the word. By studying for the test, I am learning the information from the course I would have taken, and I am saving lots of time and money. There is no loser in that situation. I say, spread the word far and wide.

That's right! Let everyone know the wonders of CLEP & DSST. (If someone has heard of CLEP tests, chances are they've never heard of DSST.)
