Calling all parents of high school and university students.....
{ and students themselves~!}
{ and students themselves~!}
Are you aware that "real" college credit can be earned by passing a test?
You may or may not be knowledgeable about just how this can happen.
CLEP, or College Level Examination Program,
offered by The College Board,
is a series of tests which assess prior knowledge in a myriad of subject areas,
enabling students to lower the cost of higher education.
Whether your teens are home schooled or attend a brick and mortar
learning institution, the ability to utilize The College Board's program
has to sound enticing!
I know it appeals to me, mom of two high school aged kids.
So, just how do we begin the process of helping
our kids prepare for the actual CLEP ?
Study.com, a leading education company, and a highly recognizable
"name," appearing at the top of searches for
everything from English lit to Psychology to Calculus,
to elementary math skills,
has a brand new product, which includes comprehensive
study guides and practice tests.
The CLEP program includes 33 exams
which will earn a student college credits
accepted at 2,900 colleges and universities.
And Study.com offers a test prep course encompassing lessons,
self-assessment options and practice tools to help equip students with
enhanced background knowledge
of each course in order to pass the test with flying colleges.
