Students take CLEP exams at official CLEP test centers or at home with remote proctoring. CLEP exams contain multiple-choice questions. CLEP exams take about 90–120 minutes to complete, depending on the exam subject.

Explore each CLEP exam topic before you register to make sure you're taking the appropriate exam. When you register, you'll be charged for each exam. Keep in mind that test centers or remote-proctored exams may include additional fees above the per-exam cost.

Register for an exam, pay the exam fee, and print your ticket on the College Board website. Test centers operate independently and you contact a test center directly to schedule an exam. If you are in the military, your exam may be paid for by your military benefits.

The College Board’s College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) has been the most widely trusted credit-by-exam program for over 50 years, accepted by 2,900 colleges and universities and administered in more than 2,000 test centers.
