I'm starting to prepare for CLEP exams, and I'm lost trying to find a testing center close to me. Does anyone know a handy way to locate the nearest place I can take these exams? Maybe some tips on the best way to search for them would be awesome!
Absolutely, I'd be happy to help with that! The College Board, which administers the CLEP exams, has a really straightforward tool on their website for locating test centers. If you go to the CLEP section of the College Board site, you'll find a 'Test Center Search' tool where you can enter your ZIP code or city and state. This will provide you with a list of nearby testing centers, including contact information and sometimes additional details like testing dates or specific protocol at that center.
Additionally, many community colleges and universities offer CLEP testing, so you might want to check with local institutions as well—they could have testing available but not show up in the College Board's search, as the info there isn't always immediately updated. Once you find a few convenient options, it's a good idea to contact them directly to ask about their schedules, registration procedures, and any other questions you may have.
Good luck with your exams!
