CLEP examinations

<p>Are CLEP examinations acceptable for transfer credit for most schools? I'm specifically asking about foreign language requirements. If I take a CLEP test for lets say, French, does that mean I've fulfilled that requirement and have achieved "proficiency" in that foreign language?</p>

<p>There is no way to tell. Some schools accept CLEP and some don’t. Among those which accept CLEP, some may accept it for one purpose but not another. You should check with your individual school.</p>

<p>I’ve found that most top schools do not accept them but some still do. You need to check with the individual schools to see if they accept them as transfer credit.</p>

<p>I made the mistake of taking a bunch of CLEP exams thinking it was a universal thing, sort of like testing out of a course, only to find out it was a waste of money since all of the schools I wish to transfer to don’t accept CLEP credit.</p>
