One problem with that is you are assuming that the CLEP covers the best sorted material. An assumption you are not allowed to make !!!

Not to make the situation any worse for you (I do not know how your sister came across to you). But I would have to agree with her, if it is a class I need for my major and has many practical applications which I will be dealing with daily. I would rather sit for the class, then fool around with the CLEP. Simply because people do not learn by studying the test. You would learn much more in a lecture/lab based class then if you're simply studying a subject directed towards acing a particular test.
