NYC Teacher CLEP Redemption Question
#8
(02-27-2019, 08:52 PM)dmatukian Wrote: Currently at 24 CLEP Credits. I basically ran through all the tests that were on the easier side and that I had any interest in. At this point I’m down to natural sciences. It’s actually a subject I’m interested in. My concern is that it’s six credits and not three. All the other tests I took were 3. I’m worried that the geniuses in administration won’t count it as six or understand that a CLEP test can be more than 3. Is that a logical fear?

So it's a distinction without a difference, but CLEP isn't technically college credit- it's potential college credit that is reviewed by someone who then decides if it is college credit. Typically, that someone is a college- so if ABC College decides your CLEP Natural Science exam is worth 2 college credits, it's worth 2. If they decide it's worth 12, then it's worth 12.
So, since I don't know who is reviewing your credits, it's hard to guess what method they'll use. If they are a college, they'll more than likely use the method of looking up the credit values in the ACE database and using those (not always but it's a good bet). Using the ACE database isn't required though, it's just one way... the other could be flipping a coin.
The reason people here can plow through zillions of CLEP or ACE credits with ease is that they are sending their credits to a school that has a very clear review and acceptance policy. We know that at XYZ College, a certain CLEP = specific credits that count for a specific class.
Unless someone here has specifically tested the same exam as you and sent it to the same admin as you, it's just a guess.

It's not bad advice to do some recon before you start, but you're here, so just buckle down and do your best. Whatever argument/document you're using to ask for CLEP credit for the other exams should work fine for this one too.
