ABOUT THE EXAM
Who takes CLEP exams and what are they used for?
CLEP (College-Level Examination Program) examinations are typically taken by people who have acquired knowledge outside the classroom and wish to bypass certain college courses and earn college credit. The CLEP is designed to reward students for learning—no matter where or how that knowledge was acquired. The CLEP is the most widely accepted credit-by-examination program in the country, with more than 2,900 colleges and universities granting credit for satisfactory scores on CLEP exams.
Although most CLEP examinees are adults returning to college, many graduating high school seniors, enrolled college students, military personnel, and international students also take the exams to earn college credit or to demonstrate their ability to perform at the college level. There are no prerequisites, such as age or educational status, for taking CLEP examinations. However, because policies on granting credits vary among colleges, you should contact the particular institution from which you wish to receive CLEP credit.
CLEP Options for Military Personnel and Veterans
CLEP exams are available free of charge to eligible military personnel and eligible civilian employees. All the CLEP exams are available at test centers on college campuses and military bases. In addition, the College Board has developed a paper-based version of 14 high-volume/high-pass-rate CLEP tests for DANTES Test Centers. Contact the Educational Services Officer or Navy College Education Specialist for more information. Visit the College Board website for details about CLEP opportunities for military personnel.
Eligible U.S. veterans can claim reimbursement for CLEP exams and administration fees pursuant to provisions of the Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 2004. For details on eligibility and submitting a claim for reimbursement, visit the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website at www.gibill.va.gov/pamphlets/testing.htm.

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK AND TESTware®
What do I study first?
To begin your studies, read over the introduction and the suggestions for test taking. Take Practice Exam 1 on CD-ROM to determine your strengths and weaknesses, and then study the course review material, focusing on your specific problem areas. The course review includes the information you need to know when taking the exam. Make sure to follow up your diagnostic work by taking the remaining practice exam on CD-ROM to become familiar with the format and feel of the CLEP College Mathematics exam.
To best utilize your study time, follow our Independent Study Schedule, which you’ll find in the front of this book. The schedule is based on a four-week program, but can be condensed to two weeks if necessary by collapsing each two-week period into one.
When should I start studying?
It is never too early to start

Okay - but...
It's probably one of the better, if not best single resources available - but you still need to look at a few others. I've been out of high school for quite some time and ultimately purchased the idiot's guide to the fundamentals of Algebra. I'm not an idiot..I've passed 11 of the 12 Dantes/Clep's I've taken.... It just seems like the older you get, the more your brain classifies "memory" as disposable !
From 0 to 60 in four weeks!
This CLEP College Algebra prep book was amazing!! I failed the first practice test I took (as a diagnostic) and things were looking pretty bleak, but after I spent four weeks with this book (you could definitely condense the study time, I just chose four weeks), I was able to pass the College Algebra CLEP!!! I was totally surprised and didn't think it was possible...I've always been terrible at math. Thank you so much, REA!!!
Didn't help me.
This book might be good for someone who is better at mathematics, but it didn't help me. It goes over complicated math with poor explanations. Don't waste your money unless math is your thing. Take the college class.
