What is College Board

The cost of higher education goes beyond the price of tuition. College students often also face the burden of balancing college, family, and work. Demanding schedules and obligations often lead to putting courses on hold. Additionally, college students can be overwhelmed by course demands and pre-requisite skills that are required. Time is consistently an obstacle in degree completion. Of these struggles that so many face, CLEP exams are a common solution. The College Level Examination Program allows students to essentially test out of college courses and earn college credit, saving time and money. While students must be prepared for these exams, there are convenient ways to options including MOOCs, Khan Academy, and College Board resources.
