Where To Take Military CLEP Exams

CLEP For Those At Home

If you’re stationed at home, and are by a local college, you most likely will be able to take your CLEP exam on their campus. CLEP test centers will require you to bring your military ID in order for you to get the admission charge for free. However, CLEP test centers on college campuses have a registration fee and you will have to pay this. Usually these fees are around $15 but they can be higher for some colleges. Check with the center before taking the test to get the exact amount they charge. Another important note is that some centers only allow students attending the college to take CLEP tests. To find a exam center near you that allows military personnel you can go to the CLEP test Center search on the college board’s site.

CLEP Exams For Those On Military Bases

Many military bases now have CLEP test centers that allow you to take tests right on the base. The easiest way to find out if your base offers such a program is to talk to your educational services officer. They can help you with the entire process of the CLEP exams and many times will have educational material to help you study. Another good point of taking the test at a military base is that it will be completely free as there is no college registration fee.

DANTES Testing Centers

The final place that you can take the CLEP exams is at DANTES education centers. This is not the best option as these testing sites do not have all of the exams. Also the exams that you can write are paper and pencil and this means it will be 2-3 weeks before you get your marks while the other two centers will be instantaneously. However, this is a viable option if you do not have access to the two other methods. Again you should speak to your educational services officer to find out the best center and get information about the exam and study material.
