AP vs. CLEP

<p>Recently, I've considered self studying an AP science course, but I'm beginning to wonder if it'll be too much work along with my other APs, both classes and preferred self studies.</p>

<p>Assuming my college would accept CLEP, are the tests easier than the APs for science?</p>

<p>CLEP is always easier than AP although it doesn’t look as good to colleges.</p>

Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>I wouldn’t be doing this to impress colleges, but instead to get rid of a couple class I don’t want to take.</p>

<p>Also, the school I’m looking at I would have 17 AP credits for already…
This is what they say about CLEP credit:
"CLEP allows students who have gained knowledge through independent study, advanced high school courses, noncredit adult courses, or professional development to take examinations for possible college credit. Students must earn a minimum score of 65 and take CLEP exams before completing 16 semester hours of college credit in order to receive credit. Review the chart below to see how CLEP credit will be awarded. "</p>

<p>Would my credit still count? Do 16 semester hours of college credit mean AP?</p>
