CLEPS and Direct Credit Resources

 So, a few days ago I mentioned that I have discovered a few resources for CLEP exams. 

CLEP exams can cover most of the material taken in the first semester or two in college, saving money and allowing you to get into the "fun" courses sooner.  At the moment, CLEP exams cost around $85/exam plus proctoring. CLEP exams can be taken from home using remote proctoring. 

According to the website, about 2900 colleges accept some or all of the CLEP exams. Before starting your CLEP journey, speak with the admission office at your college or perspective college so you know how many credits you can CLEP and which classes are accepted. 

There are a plethora of free resources to learn the material on the CLEP tests. One example is a full college algebra course on YouTube.

Khan Academy has numerous videos appropriate for the college-level. They have arts and humanities, mathematics, social sciences, science, economics, and computing videos and courses. They also have social skills and career development help. 

Saylor Academy has free resources that can be used to study for CLEPS, or if your school recognizes Saylor Academy's direct credit, you can get credit for very low cost. Saylor has arts, humanities, business, science, social science, and mathematics courses.
