CLEP
Information
on availability of the CLEP examination
series in Iraq is coming soon. Read below
for general information about the CLEP
program. Contact AMIDEAST/Iraq to request a CLEP exam administration.
The
College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
may allow you to obtain recognition for
college-level achievement on examinations
and earn credits in undergraduate degree
programs and universities in the United
States and overseas.
Wherever or however you have learned and no matter what your age, you can take
CLEP exams. If the results are acceptable
to your college or university, you may
receive course credit, thus shortening
a degree program or allowing you to begin
with more advanced courses than would be
possible otherwise.
CLEP offers examinations in thirty-four different subject areas. Each exam is
ninety minutes in length.
Contact
the admissions office of the college or
university that you are interested in attending.
They can tell you if they are among the
2,900 institutions that accept CLEP examinations
for credit or advanced standing, as well
as which examinations they accept, the
scores they require, and the number of
credit hours that they grant for each examination
that you pass successfully.
The CLEP Colleges brochure also lists colleges that have accepted CLEP, but always check directly
with the institution for the most complete
and current information. Click here to download the CLEP Colleges brochure in PDF format from the College Board Web site.

Information
on the CLEP program and examinations is
also available on the CLEP Web site.
The
CLEP examinations are offered by arrangement
with AMIDEAST at AMIDEAST test centers
throughout the Middle East and North Africa.
Please
contact your local AMIDEAST office for
registration and payment information. You
will be asked to pay a test fee and a service
fee for each examination for which you
register. You can download the test registration
form (in PDF format) from the CLEP registration website.
It
is important for you to be familiar with
the types of questions asked on the CLEP
exams. There are several ways to prepare.
- Read about the tests and suggested preparation
methods on the CLEP
Web site
- Purchase the CLEP Official Study
Guide and relevant Individual Subject
Study Guides for more practice and
review
- Take a subject review and test preparation
course
- Arrive
at your test center at least 30 minutes
before the assigned test time. Check-in
procedures take time. If you arrive late,
you may not be admitted to the test,
and you will forfeit your test fees.
- Bring photobearing identification, as described in the CLEP handbook, along with
your test center admission form.
At
the end of a testing session, the computer
program will offer you the option to cancel
or report your test score. If you choose
to report your score, you will receive
a printed score report from the test center
administrator.
If
you take the English Composition with Essay exam, the essay will need to be hand scored, and you will not receive a score
report on the day of the test. Essays are
scored once a month, after which your scores
will be sent to you.
At
the time you take the exam, you can indicate
in test software the college, employer,
or certifying agency that you want to receive
your CLEP test scores. There is no additional
cost for this service—your exam fee covers it. The Educational Testing Service will send oneofficial
score report to your designated score recipient
within two days of receiving your candidate
data from the test center. You may requset
additional score reports for a small fee.
