<p>I was wondering what W&M's Policy is on CLEP Exams, and if they do accept them, do they require you to take them before graduating high school?</p>

<p>I've been planning on taking CLEPs during the summer before I go to college to ease some GRE's. Does the summer count as "before graduating" or "prior to matriculating into college" and is this generally accepted at selective universities?</p>

<p>If CLEP's are not accepted can I take a couple AP exams in my freshman year in college?</p>

<p>Lastly, is there a limit on the number of credits obtained outside of W&M?</p>

<p>"William and Mary does not participate in the College Board CLEP program "

  • page 54 of the course catalog</p>

<p>It doesn’t specifically prohibit taking AP tests after entering, but I don’t think you can get credit for that.</p>

<p>Malventuo is correct. W&M does not accept CLEP tests for credit. Only AP and IB exams as well as college courses can be awarded credit.</p>

<p>Curious as to why you wouldn’t take AP exams this spring. It will be difficult to take them after your freshman year as many of the classes you take at W&M your freshman year are the courses AP exams might get you credit for. Not even sure the College Board allows you to take AP exams once you enroll in college.</p>

<p>You could take college courses over the summer at a local community college and receive credit for them (assuming you do not enroll their as a degree-seeking students).</p>
