Understanding CLEP Scoring and Policies

How CLEP Exams are Scored

CLEP exams use a scaled score (20–80) based on how many questions you answer correctly. There is no penalty for guessing, so always answer every question.

Score Reports

Scores are usually available immediately after the test, except for essay exams.

Credit Acceptance

Each college sets its own score requirements and determines which exams count toward specific courses. Policies can vary, so always check with your school.

Real-World Considerations

Understanding how your CLEP credits apply can help you avoid surprises and ensure you get the maximum benefit from your efforts.

Examples

  • A school requires a 55 on CLEP Spanish but only a 50 on CLEP History.

  • A student receives their score instantly and sends it to their college.

In a Nutshell

Scoring is straightforward, but each college decides how CLEP credits are used.
