how do I CLEP out of classes??

[avidhunter3]

Getting ready to graduate in a few days from LVN school. I am planning on going the Excelsior route, and I have signed up with them but not sent in the 75.00 application fee yet. I am going to do that in the next two weeks. My question is, I onlyneed ap 1/2 and micro. Can I CLEP out of those? Or do I need to physically take them somewhere? I dont think my LVN AP course transfers.

There aren't any actual CLEP tests for A&P or Micro, but EC does have exams for both; they're not so different from a CLEP test in concept, but the EC exams are more expensive. CLEP information is listed here, and CLEPs are a good option for some general ed requirements, including Human Growth and Development, which EC accepts to cover their Lifespan Developmental Psych requirement:
