College Board, College-Level Examination Program, CLEP, and the acorn logo are registered trademarks of the College Board.  \nCLEP TEST INFORMATION GUIDE FOR AMERICAN GOVERNMENT History of CLEP  \nSince 1967, the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP®) has provided over six million people with the opportunity to reach their educational goals. CLEP participants have received college credit for knowledge and expertise they have gained through prior course work, independent study or work and life experience.  \nOver the years, the CLEP examinations have evolved to keep pace with changing curricula and pedagogy. Typically, the examinations represent material taught in introductory college-level courses from all areas of the college curriculum. Students may choose from 33 different subject areas in which to demonstrate their mastery of college-level material.  \nToday, more than 2,900 colleges and universities recognize and grant credit for CLEP.  \nPhilosophy of CLEP  \nPromoting access to higher education is CLEP’s foundation. CLEP offers students an opportunity to demonstrate and receive validation of their college-level skills and knowledge. Students who achieve an appropriate score on a CLEP exam can enrich their college experience with higher-level courses in their major field of study, expand their horizons by taking a wider array of electives and avoid repetition of material that they already know.  \nCLEP Participants  \nCLEP’s test-taking population includes people of all ages and walks of life. Traditional 18-to 22-year-old students, adults just entering or returning to school, high-school students, home-schoolers and international students who need to quantify their knowledge have all been assisted by CLEP in earning their college degrees. Currently, 59 percent of CLEP’s National (civilian) test-takers are women and 46 percent are 23 years of age or older.  \nFor over 30 years, the College Board has worked to provide government-funded credit-by-exam opportunities to the military through CLEP. Military service members are fully funded for their CLEP exam fees. Exams are administered at military installations  \nworldwide through computer-based testing programs. Approximately one-third of all CLEP candidates are military service members.  \n2014-15 National CLEP Candidates by Age*  \n* These data are based on 100% of CLEP test-takers who responded to this survey question during their examinations.  \n 2014-15 National CLEP Candidates by Gender   \nComputer-Based CLEP Testing  \nThe computer-based format of CLEP exams allows for a number of key features. These include:  \n• a variety of question formats that ensure effective assessment  \n• real-time score reporting that gives students and colleges the ability to make immediate creditgranting decisions (except College Composition, which requires faculty scoring of essays twice a month)  \n• a uniform recommended credit-granting score of 50 for all exams  \n• “rights-only” scoring, which awards one point per correct answer  \n• pretest questions that are not scored but provide current candidate population data and allow for rapid expansion of question pools  \n2  \nCLEP Exam Development  \nContent development for each of the CLEP exams is directed by a test development committee. Each committee is composed of faculty from a wide variety of institutions who are currently teaching the relevant college undergraduate courses. The committee members establish the test specifications based on feedback from a national curriculum survey; recommend credit-granting scores and standards; develop and select test questions; review statistical data and prepare descriptive material for use by faculty (Test Information Guides) and students planning to take the tests (CLEP Official Study Guide) .  \nCollege faculty also participate in CLEP in other ways: they convene per","cbCaic5n3lzcakHO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaic5n3lzcakHO","pdf",1162894,25,"English","# History of CLEP\n# Philosophy of CLEP\n# CLEP Participants\n# Computer-Based CLEP Testing\n# CLEP Exam Development\n# The Curriculum Survey\n# The Committee","[{\"question\":\"What is CLEP and what does it offer students?\",\"answer\":\"CLEP is a credit-by-exam program that lets students demonstrate and validate college-level skills and knowledge.
