Okay, so I'm all in for taking a CLEP exam to score some college credit, but I can't seem to figure out where I can actually take the test. Does anyone know how to locate the nearest CLEP exam centers?
Hey there! My son recently took a couple of CLEP exams, so I went through this process with him not too long ago. The College Board website, which administers the CLEP exams, has a nifty search tool for finding test centers. Go to the College Board's CLEP webpage and you should spot a 'Find a Test Center' link that lets you search by ZIP code or city. It'll pull up a list of the nearest locations where you can sit for the exam.
Just keep in mind that not all testing centers offer every CLEP test, so you’ll want to call ahead to make sure the one you're planning to take is available. Also, some centers might have specific days and times when they administer these exams, so scheduling in advance is key. And a little tip - check out your own or nearby colleges, as many have testing centers that offer CLEP exams. Hope that helps and good luck with your exam!
