I've read several posts that refer to CLEP tests for homeschoolers. My niece will finish out the 9th grade in the public school system and begin homeschooling in June.
I'm not to concerned about transcripts or what to cover. However, I had no idea I could let her do CLEP tests.
How and where do I arrange that for her?
You can take CLEP tests at any college / university:

You can take CLEP tests at any college / university. The fee is $55 per test (plus $15 charged by the testing center, most likely).

If the college you're going to accepts them - CLEP tests rock. I took the science one and passed with flying colors. I wish I would have taken more.
Colleges require differing CLEP scores and vary the amount..

Well, the way it works is that most colleges accept CLEP tests, but at different score levels. So a score of 50 might be acceptable one place, and 60 in another. Also, while some colleges accept a lot of credit through testing, others only allow, say, 20 or 30 credit hours. You'll just have to check with your college of choice to find out how much credit they allow, and what minimum scores you need to pass.

I wish I had known about CLEP tests when I first started college. I could have saved quite a bit of time and money. However, the colleges do not actively advertize or recruit for CLEP testing.
Thank you for all the information.
