CLEP testing centers? - natshar - 04-07-2020
Is there anyway to find out what CLEP test centers are open? Anyone know of any testing centers open anywhere?
I called CLEP customer service and they said they have no plan to move the CLEP online at this time because you need a proctor and everything. Plus it is not like AP which is one day a year this is anytime.
I'm kind of in a tricky situation and if I can't take this CLEP and pass then I might not be able to graduate or I do graduate I would have pay an extra $1000 dollars or more or push everything back a whole semester. It is complicated but I need to take the CLEP by the beginning of June or risk having to figure out other options.
I know it is not good for me to put so much pressure on the CLEP but this wasn't the plan before COVID and also I'm very confident I can pass this CLEP. I'm actually retaking it because I already got above a 50 but this school requires a slightly higher score then I got when I initially took the CLEP years ago. So I know that if the testing centers were open I would have no problem passing it and getting the credit with the score needed.

Calling the CLEP customer service line won't actually help as they don't take care of any test center location or know what's happening at so many different locations across the globe. Your best and only bet is to search the CLEP website for test locations in your state and local area, at least the closest few and call around. For example, if you're in my state or in texas or what have you, do a search for the closest 5 and call them to see if any are open. Just in case they are open, be safe, wear a mask, and go for the exam!

For what it's worth, there is a petition to encourage CLEP to offer remote proctoring. They have no plans to offer it now but this may help push them to offer it in the future.

Also, specifically what CLEP do you need? Maybe there's an online option that you can do instead?

Yeah maybe. My school does accept ACE but it is tricky.
