You are assuming the college board is the standard, which is not true. That is like saying upenn's business center is so much above the standard that they are actually very uneducated. Which obviously is not logical. The CLEP test is very brief and upfront, in other words VERY superficial, which is the way most of these "tests" are going to be, for one reason, they have to base the test around a superficial topic, because they are assuming anyone will be able to study and pass the test.
For this reason alone, you will get a better education in an actual traditional school because you will be learning not only the superficial topics but whatever your professors experienced and whatever their research interests are.
