What is the TASFA?

Because we do not offer AP Courses, CLEP Exams seem to be the way to go in order to receive college credits and place out of introductory courses for a fraction of the cost of a college credit hour ($95!). Please review the resources below and know that I am happy to schedule phone calls or meet one to one if you'd like to discuss further. 

What's the difference between AP and CLEP Exams? Information here

Am I eligible? If you're 13, you are! Requirements here

What can I test on? Because of our curriculum, my eyes were drawn to American History, Western Civilization, College Composition, Analyzing and Interpreting Literature, Humanities, etc. etc... entire list of options here. Keep in mind, scores range from 20-80 with 50 being the passing mark. The amount of credit hours per course depends on the school but you can receive from 3 to 12 college credit hours per exam passed. There is a retesting policy of three months but you are able to make multiple attempts on a subject.
