CLEP examinations are computer-based, multiple-choice format and are 90 minutes long. Information concerning CLEP examinations can be found here.
Cost
A fee of $95 is charged by the College Board for each examination taken. Students must register online prior to testing. After registering, please print and bring your CLEP Exam Registration Ticket to your testing appointment.
A $25 per test service fee, paid separately from the CLEP examination fee, is payable to TTC on the day of testing.
Reporting of Scores
Most scores are available immediately after completing the examination (scores are reported to the examinee and the institution indicated). Official score reports are mailed approximately three weeks after testing. CLEP maintains scores for 20 years; therefore, transcript service may be requested at a later date for an additional fee.
Repeating CLEP Examinations
To be eligible to repeat a CLEP examination, a waiting period of three months is required. Scores on tests repeated earlier than three months are subject to cancellation and forfeiture of fees.

The Official Study Guide for the CLEP Examinations contains descriptions of exams, sample questions, lists of reference materials for test preparation and test-taking strategies. Purchase study guides by phone at 800-323-7155 or online at http://store.collegeboard.com.
