If you know you can pass and you've studied for it, it's not really a gamble more of a calculated risk. You can even study enough to where the risk of failing is minimal.
I've taken a couple of CLEPs where I didn't feel the most confident. Usually what pushes me through is thinking about all the time I save by not having to sit through the class.
As far as the cost is concerned, tuition at the state university I attend is $365 per credit hour. For one three credit hour class that's more than $1000!!! I could fail the CLEP multiple times and still come out ahead money wise if I were paying for school(thankfully I have the gibill and don't have to.)
