One of my friends has her kids take CLEP exams for college credit. (Incidentally, all of her kids are home-schooled and test well.) What is CLEP? These are cumulative assessments for college credit. Like AP or Advanced Placement, kids can test out of college classes and earn credit towards a degree. CLEP, like AP, and SAT exams are sponsored by College Board. It pays to buy a guide for a CLEP test through the College Board Store. CLEP exams are $93 and the guides are $10. Be sure to check that the college accepts CLEP credit. (Check here to see if your teen’s college of interest accepts CLEP for credit.) This can be a terrific way to reduce the costs for college.
