CLEP exams allow students with prior knowledge of introductory college topics the opportunity to take an exam demonstrating their mastery rather than taking the class itself. The overall purpose of CLEP exams is to reward existing knowledge and make it easier for students to earn college credit. ### Can CLEP exams affect your GPA? No, CLEP exams are almost always considered pass or fail. Because they don’t receive letter grades, they aren’t factored into your GPA. ### What does testing out of a course mean? By taking a test from an eligible testing provider you can demonstrate that you are proficient on the content expectations and did not need to take the course. ### How do I test out of college classes? You may be able to test out of some college courses which can save you time and money on your degree.
