CLEP and Dantes Testing

College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)

The College-Level Examination Program gives you the opportunity to receive college credit for what you already know by earning qualifying scores on any of 34 examinations. Exam descriptions and information are available at: www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/clep/about.html

Effective July 1, 2010, CLEP will launch two new exams: College Composition and College Composition Modular. Simultaneously, three CLEP exams will be retired:

  • English Composition with Essay will be replaced by College Composition
  • English Composition will be replaced by College Composition Modular.
  • Freshman College Composition will be replaced by College Composition Modular.

College Compositionincludes multiple-choice items and two mandatory essays scored by CLEP. College English faculty from throughout the country score the essays via an online scoring system.

College Composition Modular includes a multiple-choice section that may be supplemented either with an essay section provided by CLEP and scored by the college, or an essay section provided and scored by the college. This exam is intended for colleges that want a valid, reliable multiple-choice assessment and greater local control over the direct writing assessment.

A score of at least 50 is required to receive credit.  There are no exceptions!  Some tests (such as languages) require higher scores.  For contact information click here.
