Score Reports
Candidates receive immediate test results at the end of the testing session. Score reports can be generated for anyone who has tested within the last 30 days.
Retesting Policy
If you do not receive a passing score, you may take the test again after 180 days. Please do not attempt to take the test before 180 days have passed, because your test will be invalid, and any fees you pay will not be refunded. A date calculator can help determine when you may retake a test.
Important Policy for Business Majors
Business majors may not earn special credit for any of the CLEP business or economics exams; however, business majors may earn special credit for a maximum of three (3) non-business, general education CLEP exams. Please talk to your advisor to see how this policy might affect your degree.
