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.

Although Micro Econ was not on the list, I passed this CLEP exam today with a score of 58. Macro will be the next one I take soon!

[@CollegeHacked]

Congrats!!

[@drfranke]

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

[@trousleperson632]

I wish I knew these when I got out of high school. I have relearn a lot of things from scratch like history 😭

[@georgewashingmachine1]

I just took the Sociology CLEP test and it was so hard. It was nothing like the study material out there and I barely passed. I honestly thought the College Algebra CLEP test was easier because of study material and how reliable it is.

[@CollegeHacked]

Thanks for the feedback. What did you use to prep for the exam?

[@georgewashingmachine1]

@@CollegeHackedI used Modern States, a few test information guides from College Board that were a few years old, and some AI to give me some sample test questions.

[@georgewashingmachine1]

@@CollegeHackedI searched all over online and that’s the best I could get. Even the updated CLEP test books aren’t very helpful from what I’ve heard from others.

Damn I’m taking it in 3 days now I’m worried, any advice on how to study or what to use ?

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! :)

[@CollegeHacked]

Bummer! The ones we work with most often give full credit for it, so haven’t run into this. Thanks for the heads up 😎

[@MateDrinker33]

@@CollegeHacked Np! Unless they didn't update either their website or their College Board profile appropriately, TESU (surprisingly) appears to be one of the ones that don't accept the Spanish Writing CLEP (kind of bizarre considering the similarly-themed- and more formidable- NYU language exams ARE already accepted by them, but what do I know, lol).

[@CollegeHacked]

@@MateDrinker33Great point! That’s silly of them 😂

[@TinaWilliams-l7u]

I was recently told by my state education board that I am short 1 math course and 1 science course and that I can take a CLEP test to get the credit however, I am no longer enrolled in a college. How does this work if I am no longer enrolled? Thank you.

[@CollegeHacked]

You don’t need to be enrolled in a college to register for and take CLEP exams :) Once you take the test, you transfer the passing grade transcript to the school where you’re graduating to fulfill the degree.

[@johnnyniceman1432]

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]).

[@jamesw7072]

And Webster University is based in the US but has campuses all over the world. I was in MBA classes with Europeans, Asians, and Africans in their home country attending Webster in hyrbid form through their local campuses and online. They would likely take CLEP at the undergrad level.

[@lishalanee6916]

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! :)

[@CollegeHacked]

Ask the school, they’ll tell you!

[@rahabnungari372]

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

[@CollegeHacked]

All the schools in our top 7 online schools of 2024 video do accept for WGU 👏🏼

[@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! :)

[@CollegeHacked]

CLEP scores are available for 10 years.

[@CollegeHacked]

@matedrinker33 used to be 20, but now it’s 10 :)

@@CollegeHacked I thought that number was a little generous when I first learned of it, lmfao! :)
