Benefits of Opening a Test Center
CLEP helps students earn college credit, advance to more challenging courses, and save money on tuition. When colleges and high schools choose to become test centers, everyone benefits.
Benefits of a Test Center for Colleges
Recruitment
You can influence potential high-achieving students to enroll at your institution. When students come to the test center to take exams you can advertise your policy and let them know you grant credit for their passing score.
Convenience
An on-campus test center offers your students the convenience of testing in a familiar environment.
Create Space in Introductory Courses
By encouraging students to take CLEP exams and place into high-level courses, you make room for more students to take the introductory courses.
Instant Score Reports
Students can make immediate decisions about subsequent course enrollment. Scores can be sent to the registrar's office electronically.
