I can think of two reasons. The first being that getting all of the GenEds done is actually a pretty good outcome for a high schooler. The second being that she would have to keep track of a LOT more degree and transfer info and branch out from CLEP to support multiple degree subjects. That would be real work.
This is pricy, but if she keeps it up to date and answers questions (big IF), I could see it being worth it to someone who's overwhelmed and nervous about making mistakes. I hope she's up front with people about the limitations of relying on CLEP alone (you can't just assume any particular school will accept them all), and mentions other paths like dual enrollment.
I also hope the parents don't think that cramming for a test is a valid substitute for actually studying the material and practicing it. It's one thing for adults on here to do that, but a kid might not realize what they don't know.
