What if you don't pass?

[SteveM]

All,
Is there a time period that one must wait if you don't pass the CLEP test to take the test again? I am pretty sure I'll pass, but I don't want to take it, fail, and not be able to take it again right away.

Thanks,
Steve

welcome! I believe you have to wait for 180 days to retake a failed clep exams.

The normal wait time before a retake is 6 months. The best way to not have to worry about that is to be sure you are ready first. If you have not taken any CLEP/DSST/TECEP/ECE exams yet I would also suggest make your first one the easiest or one that you can take a different/close version of if you don't pass the first time. I took Psychology of women TECEP first because if I had a problem I could always go back and just take the Intro to psychology exam. I also felt as a women who has been to many councilors in my time I knew the most about this exam before I started.
