If you’re a parent who’s reading this right now, I strongly encourage you to look into CLEP exams. You should only enroll in them if you know that your child’s university or institution accepts them. Not all do, apparently, so be careful. Don’t spend $90 for no reason. Additionally, find out what kind of general education courses will be needed for their years at that specific university. If, for example, they didn’t pass the AP Calculus exam with a 4 or 5 but got a 3, try out one of the mathematics exams from CLEP. Because it’s under CollegeBoard, just like AP and SAT tests are, they offer amazing study guides for a really low cost and can really help save some dollars. Because of this, I can graduate a semester early from UMass!

Until next time everybody,
