ABOUT THE EXAM
Who takes CLEP exams and what are they used for?
CLEP (College-Level Examination Program) examinations are typically taken by people who have acquired knowledge outside the classroom and wish to bypass certain college courses and earn college credit. The CLEP is designed to reward students for learningno matter where or how that knowledge was acquired. The CLEP is the most widely accepted credit by-examination program in the country, with more than 2,900 colleges and universities granting credit for satisfactory scores on CLEP exams.
Although most CLEP examinees are adults returning to college, many graduating high school seniors, enrolled college students, military personnel, and international students also take the exams to earn college credit or to demonstrate their ability to perform at the college level. There are no prerequisites, such as age or educational status, for taking CLEP examinations. However, because policies on granting credits vary among colleges, you should contact the particular institution from which you wish to receive CLEP credit.
There are two categories of CLEP examinations:
1. CLEP General Examinations are five separate tests that cover material usually taken as requirements during the first two years of college. CLEP General Examinations are available for English Composition (with or without essay), Humanities, Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences and History.
2. CLEP Subject Examinations include material usually covered in an undergraduate course with a similar title. For a complete list of the subject examinations offered, visit the College Board website.
Who administers the exam?
The CLEP exams are developed by the College Board, administered by Educational Testing Service (ETS), and involve the assistance of educators throughout the United States. The test development process is designed and implemented to ensure that the content and difficulty level of the test are appropriate.
When and where is the exam given?
The CLEP Financial Accounting exam is administered each month throughout the year at more than 1,300 test centers in the United States and can be arranged for candidates abroad on request. To find the test center nearest you and to register for the exam, you should obtain a copy of the free booklets CLEP Colleges and CLEP Information for Candidates and Registration Form.

This review is from: The Best Test P CLEP Financial Accounting w/ CD-ROM (CLEP Test Preparation) (Paperback)
This book saved me about $4500 in tuition, not to mention the cost of textbooks. I needed to score a 57 to get credit for two accounting classes (9 hours worth of credit). After a couple of weeks of studying over winter break I nailed a 61! It has put me extremely close to graduation and saved me time as well. Great product and well worth the price. Just as a point of reference, I took accounting in college once many, many years ago and failed. Miserably. This book made it much easier for me.

This review is from: The Best Test P CLEP Financial Accounting w/ CD-ROM (CLEP Test Preparation) (Paperback)
I highly recommend this study guide. I studied for the financial accounting CLEP over the winter break using the REA prep book. I spent about 2-3 weeks reading a little every night, doing the practice questions, and reviewing concepts or whole chapters as necessary based on my practice results. I got a 61 and a 62 on the sample tests included with the book, and a 63 on the real test. I am planning to use REA to help me CLEP out of three more classes.
