(besides the $80 [$60 +$20 admin fee]) and the time you have to wait to retake that exam?
Time is on my side I can wait another 6 months to retake. I have waited over 20 years for a degree what's another 6 months. 
3. I know that you can chose to list or not to list on the exam that you area taking to have your score sent to you college. I am going to 'one day' take an exam. I am not going to list a college to send my scores to because I want to know before the colllege what am clep score is. (granted the college will not know instantly like I but I want the 'heads up' on my score.)
Anyway, when I decide to have them send over my scores (with a $20 fee - of course) HERE is the question part....can I have ...back it up...just say I took the test twice [first time failing [rememeber not sending to my college scores 'instantly' then the second time passing]....how do/can I know/request that the 1st scorce does not get sent over? Or does the 1st exam score (wheather DNS or fail) get 'wiped off when I take the exam the second time?
Hope someone in this forum can enlighten me on this. Because I did not understand after reading about the score reporting section. Besides that that I can chose not to have my score sent to any college.

X,
In answer to question 2: Once you have paid for and taken the exam, you have nothing to lose by clicking the "Report Score Now" button. If you DON'T click it, you will have wasted your money, your time, and will DEFINITELY have to retake the exam again in six months. However, if you click the button, you might actually have PASSED the exam. In which case you won't have wasted anything...and if you failed, well at least you will know for sure!
In answer to question 3: CLEP will only report the HIGHER score if you take the same exam twice. You can also request that they do not report ANY scores that are below the PASS score. Also, you can specify EXACTLY which exam scores you want them to report.
If you take 15 exams, you can ask them to only report the 5 scores that you specify.
If you take an exam and fail, you can ask them not to report that score.
If you take an exam and score low, but then retake the exam six months later and score higher, they will ONLY report the higher score.
Hope that helps,
