<p>Youre definatly correct about the average CC student not attending a college that accepts the credit, but then again, a CCer is not a typical college bound student. So that explains why this forum topic isnt popular, but it does not explain why the exams arent popular and promoted in high schools across america. There was a total of 4140 college and universities in the united states in 2005([Number</a> of U.S. Colleges and Universities and Degrees Awarded, 2005 | Infoplease.com](<a href=“Columbia Encyclopedia | Infoplease”>Number of U.S. Colleges and Universities and Degrees Awarded, 2005)). Clep credits are accepted in some “shape or form” at 2900 of these schools ([CLEP</a> - College Level Examination Program (CLEP) -Save Time. Save Money. Take CLEP | College Board CLEP Site](<a href=“http://clep.collegeboard.org/]CLEP”>http://clep.collegeboard.org/)). Chances are any given school does accept the credit is pretty high (especially if it’s a public institution). So why isnt it promoted in US high schools like APs are?</p>
