Dude - you don't need approval from anybody to take a CLEP. If you got a testing center on your base, just go up in there and take Analyzing & Interpreting Lit. When they ask where you want the transcript sent to, tell em you dont want to send it anywhere. What that'll do is Prometric (the company that administers the CLEPs) will hold on to your test results like a school would and when you wanna transfer em over, you just fill out their transfer form and it costs 30bucks.
What im doin because i havent actually enrolled at TESC yet is to rack up all the credits i need for the Liberal Arts degree and then send them over. This way if i fail a test they wont know about it because you can have Prometric send ONLY the ones you passed - itll make you look cool.![Smile Smile](https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/images/smilies/smile.png)
But im in your situation too - im having a beach of a time trying to get my stuff evaluated so i can confirm that the tests i think i got left i actually need to take. Cause i dont wanna spend a couple months taking a couple tests i dont need. Ive already done that with a couple already cause I misunderstood. Lame.
But its all good.
Just go take it dude - Analyze Lit is super easy. Its definitely boring and long and tedious, but its super doable. I didn't study for one second for that one and I got a 67. Peterson's tests are usually harder than the actual CLEP so if you got a 64 man, you're probably gonna get like a 79 or something. And if you get 50 - shoot who cares - you passed.
Do IT!
