Taking more CLEP exams than school will accept

<p>My school only accepts 15 (fifteen :() CLEP credits. </p>

<p>I plan on taking more for grad school purposes, not just to test out of any courses. I want to prove to grad schools that I can think on my own since ultimately CLEP exams are self-study. </p>

<p>Anyways, do you think grad schools will be impressed if I send them a transcript of my CLEP exams? I plan on taking 3 more CLEP exams (9 credits) worth beyond what my school will take (fifteen).</p>

<p>Grad schools don’t care about your CLEP test results. They don’t even request them as part of your grad school application. They want to see a strong undergrad GPA, awesome professor recs, solid GRE test score, and research experience. </p>

<p>Instead of taking CLEP tests, focus on your GPA and the other things I mentioned above.</p>

<p>Just do what your school will take.</p>
