Hey everyone! Just finished a CLEP exam and the waiting is killing me. Does anyone know how long it typically takes for the results to come in? A week? A month? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Hey there! Congratulations on completing your CLEP exam! Typically, you'll receive your score report right after you finish the exam for most CLEP tests. However, for exams that include written essays, like College Composition, it could take up to 2-3 weeks for the scoring of the essay section. The results of the multiple-choice section are still provided immediately after completion.
Your official transcript, which is the one sent to colleges, is usually processed and mailed within a day if there are no essays. So, no worries, you don't have to wait too long to see how you did!
Just remember that the college you're sending the scores to might take additional time to process them and add them to your record. Good luck, and I hope you aced it!
