Check your college first

A college can ask for a higher score, give a different number of credits, or not accept the exam for your program. Look up its CLEP policy before you book.

Why our practice shows questions right, not a score

College Board publishes no table from questions right to a scaled score, so no practice test can honestly give you one. We show how many you got right in each topic, which is what tells you what to study.
