Hi all,This may be a stupid question, but here goes. I am an LPN that got conned into using the College Network for my ADN. Am almost ready to take my A&P test, and wondering how to do that with CLEP since it is cheaper than through Excelsior. College Network has not been very informative. Any information would be greatly appreciated.Thanks so much!!!

I know Excelsior does.Wanted to add this – I have actually found four-year institutions that do not accept CLEP exams, but will take Excelsior exams because Excelsior is an accredited COLLEGE, and they award tangible college credit. MOST four-year institutions DO accept CLEP credit, but not all of them accept it in the same way. I’m passing this on because I would hate to see someone go for their RN and end up having to actually retake a course just because the school doesn’t like CLEP exams.

BUT, I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend that you contact the school that you are planning on using the CLEP A&P for and asking them if they will even accept it. Most schools only accept certain CLEP courses.

I recommend the same: check with your school if you intend to use the Excelsior A&P because Excelsior gives out 6 credits for their A&P while most other schools' A&P is a two semesters course and worth at least 8 credits (one local school here has a 2 sems A&P total 10 credits).
