College cost can be a dream killer but it doesn’t have to be, as you saw in the video Clepping out of a class is an option, not just for military students but everyone, what this means. You demonstrate that you have knowledge in a subject and receive class credit for the course without having to take the class. Sound good?

This post will show you exactly what kind of savings you can expect and where to get the details of a Prep Exam, like a study outline. You’re not expected to just know the given topics just off the top of your head.

How does this work?

Well you choose a subject; say for example you want to get out of Western Civilization, instead of sitting through a class for a session or semester you study for the ‘final’ called a CLEP or DANTES (The CLEP program started by the military) Exam pass it and receive full credit for the class, thus saving you hundreds if not thousands of dollars for a class, AND it will shorten your time in college.

This smart cost saving program is simply for amazing students.

All you pay for is the test and perhaps study material.

Let’s look at the numbers.

Community College ranges from $20.00- $90.00 on average per credit hour, call your local community college to verify the cost in your area.

A university often ranges from $200.00 – $600.00 or more depending on the college make sure to get a specific cost per college credit hour from the colleges you are considering.

Community College Savings with a CLEP Exam

Let’s use the lowest cost per credit hour to be conservative.

$20.00 per credit hour

(X) Multiplied by

3 credits per class

Total $ 60.00

Now add in books $115.00 for class books this is an average for many classes, ranging from about $80.00 to $150.00 or more. (150+80 / 2 = 115)

So the cost per credit hour total, plus the book average for the least expensive class is:

$ 60.00

+ $115.00

Total $ 175.00 per class

Now take a CLEP or DANTES Exam ranging from $35.00- $75.00 total, and you have a HUGE savings!

So

$175.00

- $75.00

Total $100.00 savings per class

And this is the lowest amount you can save.

Here’s a fun exercise, let’s see would look like for you.

Take the information above and put in the cost per credit hour for the colleges you’re considering, and the average cost for books at this college, and see how much you’ll keep, and smile, you’ve just found a way to successfully save money on your college costs!!

I’ve done some research for you and found one program which gives you full study guide material and practice questions for the lowest amount listed above for classes.

Plus: they guarantee that you’ll pass the class or they’ll give you the money back.

You can’t lose, you save thousands, look at all the classes you can pass with full credit. They estimate you can take up to a year off your studies!!  Discover what classes you can get credit for

Let’s redo the numbers so we’re all on the same page

$ 175.00
