Many people don't know about clepping. When you Clep a college class, you simply buy a small book with facts about a particular subject. The book is very small, paperback, about 75% small than the readers digest. So you read and study it and take the test for it. You can't do this for every class, but you will be surprised at how many classes you can CLEP. These books are sold at just about any book store. Usually they are yellow, maybe six bucks?
So do you want to spend 400-800- dollars a class or do you want to spend six? There might be a testing fee since you didn't take the class, but its well worth it, and don't expect your college counselor to tell you about clepping as usually once they know you know will most likely discourage you-unless-they truly care about you and your family's finances as if they've gone through and understand the same thing.
As a last note many of the classes you can clep wouldn't be those classes you have to take in order to get a degree, but can be many of the electives, and if you don't clep them you are still paying the extremely high tuition fees. Feel free to contact to ask questions. Good luck starting college, make sure to finish.:)
