By taking CLEP exams I was able to get back on track with my schedule, as well as financially.” Silvia Delca St. John’s University “I am so glad that I learned about CLEP and figured out how the exams could fit into my academic career. CLEP took away a lot of the financial burden and psychological pressures I was facing. I am very sure that if I hadn’t taken CLEP exams I would still be slogging away at my degree.
