Great video. Great content. Please do more videos on the American Government, more science topics, humanities, social science, and other English CLEPs.

[@rahabnungari372]

Hey, great video! Could you do one about online universities that accept international students? Thank you!

[@Toutuu98]

I think you ought to take one for the team and take a foreign language CLEP. You can let us know how long it took you to learn a language in DuoLingo or Babbel to pass the CLEP.

8:45: Minor nitpick on No. 2; for the Spanish Writing CLEP- which is basically the enhanced version of Spanish Language Levels I & II CLEP, even though the College Board’s website doesn’t frame it this way- despite actually being more challenging (Five Spanish Language essays in MLA format in only three hours!), a weirdly huge number of colleges don’t accept this as transfer credit, and will instead only accept the “reduced strength” Spanish CLEP for credit. Still, boss uploading! :)

Unfortunately Clep exams are only available in the US

[@MateDrinker33]

Not quite true; you can take these remotely as long as you have either Windows or macOS. If you meant to write “available AS CREDIT” outside the US, this is still not quite accurate; I haven’t researched it in detail, but I’ve told that CLEP does have limited acceptance in Canada, the UK, India, and also the Philippines. I haven’t seen specific examples, though. It does have very little- or potentially no- acceptance outside of the Anglophone world, though (meaning that it’s mostly useful for only for US degrees earned from abroad [actually allowed by SNHU & TESU; there are likely others]).

I have a question, I plan on going to school for business management (AAS) degree and there is only one English course to complete to earn 3 credits. It’s also at a community college. Why not college comp modular?

[@MateDrinker33]

His emphasis was that “MOST” colleges don’t accept the CollCompMod CLEP (UWM already comes to mind; there are literally hundreds of others); if yours does, go for it! :)

Any exams or life experience/certification conversion for graduate-level college credit?

[@dylanakent]

How many years are claps good for? Do they expire?

[@MateDrinker33]

Only after 20 years board-side (this is explicitly mentioned in the FAQs on the official CLEP website if you [understandably] don’t trust random strangers on the internet). Note that US colleges DO still usually reserve the right to deny transfer to excessively old credits, but this is mostly a thing for technology-based credits (e.g., TESU only allows tech credits older than ten years on a case-case basis, WGU’s CompSci program once required Calculus credits to be no older that five years [no idea if they still have this rule], etc.). If you’re asking from the perspective of someone who has extremely old CLEP credit (#ripthetrigonometryclepyoullalwaysberemembered 🤣 ), I would check your preferred schools transfer and/or challenge exam policy. Stay awesome! :)
