Hey everyone, I'm considering retaking a CLEP exam but I'm a little confused about the policy. Does anyone know how long I have to wait before I can take the same exam again? Any other restrictions I should be aware of? Could really use some advice here!
Hey there! I went through a similar process with my own child not too long ago. From what I recall, there's a mandatory three-month waiting period before you can retake a CLEP exam. So, if you take an exam at the beginning of January, you're looking at the beginning of April before you're eligible to sit for it again. Remember, this is a strict policy, and it applies to every retake of the same exam. If you attempt to retake the test sooner than three months, the new score won't be valid. Also, it's worth noting that this doesn’t limit you from taking different CLEP exams during that period, only the same one.
Be sure to use this waiting period to your advantage to really hone in on the areas you need improvement. There are some great study materials out there, and sometimes colleges even offer study sessions or resources, so it’s worth asking about. Best of luck on your next attempt – with some solid study time, I'm sure you'll knock it out of the park!
