Where to take the CLEP exam

You can take a CLEP exam at any official test center, or at home with remote proctoring. College Board says exams are given at over 2,000 colleges and universities worldwide. When you choose where to take the CLEP exam, the real question is whether a center near you will test you: some only test their own students.

Four kinds of CLEP test centers

TypeWho it tests
PublicAnyone who registers and pays the center’s fee, including service members
LimitedOnly students admitted to or enrolled at that college
DANTES-fundedCollege centers that waive their fee for eligible service members and civilians whose exam DANTES pays for
On baseEligible service members and civilians allowed onto the military installation

How to find a CLEP test center near you

  1. Search the CLEP Test Center Search by college name or by location.
  2. Contact the center: its website and phone number are in the results. Centers run on their own, so you book with them, not with College Board.
  3. Ask about its administration fee. College Board says centers typically charge one, and the amount is up to them.
  4. Print your registration ticket from My CLEP, add the center’s details and your appointment, and bring it on the day.
