Are Calculus CLEP exams a good idea?

Hey there! Junior year's been a whirlwind and I realized I could potentially skip some college math with the Calculus CLEP exam. Do you think it's worth the stress to study for it during my summer break? And if so, any study guide recommendations?

Absolutely, it can be a strategic move to take the Calculus CLEP exam, especially if you're comfortable with math and looking to get some college credit out of the way. Keep in mind that not all colleges accept CLEP credits, so I'd recommend checking with the specific institutions you're interested in to ensure your efforts will pay off.

As for studying, the official CLEP study materials are a great place to start since they are tailored to the exam format and content. There's also a wealth of online resources and textbooks that can help you. For example, Khan Academy has free lessons that align well with CLEP Calculus topics. If you approach your study methodically, making the most of these resources over the summer, you shouldn’t find it too stressful.
