Do I have to wait six months before I can take the same CLEP exam?
Yes. CLEP tests may be repeated after a six-month waiting period from your original test date. Scores on tests repeated earlier than six months will be canceled and the test fees forfeited.
When do I receive my CLEP scores?
Score reports are available immediately - they are printed directly at the end of each testing session. If you take the English Composition with Essay test, you will receive one combined score after the essay has been scored, usually one to three weeks after your test date.
How long is the test?
Each test is 90 minutes long and, except for English Composition with Essay, is made up primarily multiple-choice questions; however, some exams do have questions that require test takers to type in an answer. For the English Composition with Essay, the test taker is required to type a 45-minute essay in addition to completing a 45-minute multiple-choice section.
Can I request additional CLEP transcripts?
Yes. To request additional transcripts (a report of your CLEP scores sent to one or more recipients), please call the CLEP Transcript Request Service at 800.257.9558. There is a $20.00 fee for each transcript you request.
