Is there a CLEP for Micro or A&P?

thank you

There's an Excelsior though which is just like a CLEP but through Excelsior rather than College Board.

EC exams are similar to CLEP tests in that they're credit by exam, but in my experience, EC exams are quite a bit more difficult and have almost twice as many exam questions (90-100 for CLEP, and usually 160 for EC). Also, most CLEP tests are pass/fail; most EC exams are not, and result in a letter grade. So they are a bit different. :)

Yeah that's what I meant, that they are credit by exam. EC exams are *definitely* tougher though. I've gotten A's on mine so far but I'm sweatin the whole time thinking that I totally bombed it. :bugeyes:

I appreciate the help. I plan to do micro once I get done with biology

hi I went to the clep site and they have an introductory to sociology clep. And you can pay $10 and get a downloadable study guide for it. So am I correct in thinking this. I can pay the $10, study for the clep, go and take the test, pass the clep, and then Excelsior gives you credit for sociology, instead of having to go and pay the $200 for the excelsior test. Am I correct? I am just learning all of this. thankyou.

That study guide is more similar to the EC exam content guides than an actual study guide ... i.e., an outline of material and about 60 practice questions. You should probably invest in one of the sociology CLEP guides, like the one from REA.com. There's also instacert.com and petersons.com for practice tests. They're not free, but I don't know that you'd pass with just the $10 guide unless you already know something about sociology. But yes, you can take the Introductory Sociology CLEP for credit with EC -- I did that in January to cover my last gen. ed. course. :) And just FYI, you can also take the Human Growth & Development CLEP to satisfy EC's Lifespan Development Psych. requirement. :)

:heartbeatthanks, you are most helpful!
