In term of trustworthiness:
Clep and DSST > Study.com > Straighterline > Saylor Academy > Sophia

CLEP, you can pass by answering around 50% of the questions correctly, hardly a mastery of a subject, though CLEPs are accepted by most colleges. -

The "50%" number is not true - there is no way to know exactly what percentage you need on a CLEP exam, because they're scaled scores and the formula is not published.  It's definitely not 50% though.

Also, I would not say that MOST colleges accept CLEP - I would say that SOME accept CLEP, and many of those only accept a limited number of CLEP exams, and many require higher scores as well.

Then there's the cohort that only brings them in as a waiver for requirements - like if you pass the CLEP Spanish exam, you may opt to take Spanish 3 - but you won't get credit for the CLEP exam.


I can't speak for every school, but at least for TESU ACE credits are listed on the transcript together, and you can't tell if something was taken at SL, Study.com, Salyor, or Sophia. CLEPs were listed separately.

If a grad school wants to see your ACE/NCCRS credits, they MAY request your ACE/NCCRS transcripts - but I don't think most do.  They normally look at your package as a whole, and don't spend a LOT of time looking at your individual grades/scores.
