I've read a bit about CLEP exams and I'm kinda interested, but I'm not sure which subjects are offered. Can anyone share where I could find a complete list of CLEP exams? I'm planning to use them to cover some credits for college.
Absolutely, I can help with that! CLEP exams are a great way to earn college credits before you actually step foot on campus. The College Board offers 34 CLEP exams covering various subjects you might encounter in your first couple of years of college. These subjects range from Composition and Literature, World Languages, History and Social Sciences, Science and Mathematics, to Business.
You can find the comprehensive list on the official College Board CLEP website, which not only lists each subject but also provides useful information like study resources and how many credits each exam might be worth. Additionally, the individual college you're planning to attend may have a list of the CLEP exams they accept, so be sure to check that out. Some schools have specific guidelines about which exams can fulfill certain requirements.
Remember as well to check with your target college's admissions or registrar's office for their CLEP policy, because every school is different in how they grant credit. Pro tip: some colleges might even have a cap on how many CLEP credits you can apply towards your degree. Happy studying!
