Hi! I'm Abigail (aka Abby) Rogers. I'm 18 years old, and I have 66 college credit hours. I live in Northwest Arkansas, have been home schooled all my life, and love reading, writing, cooking, eating, all-things-British, reading some more, and saving money. Years ago I wanted to get a college education quickly, easily, and affordably. Sound impossible to you?
It's not.
You may be wondering about the title of this blog. "What exactly does CLEP stand for?" you ask with a guilty waver in your voice. Don't feel bad. There are plenty of people who have either never heard of it or think of it only as a weird way to get out of a couple classes. What do I say it is?
The College Level Examination Program is the secret to bypassing the typical freshman-year classes (that basically repeat what you learned in high school), and diving right into the meaty stuff that you really want to learn. I'm talking about experimenting, working on your own timetable, saving huge amounts of time and money,
all by some simple, straightforward testing.
OK, you still have your misgivings. That's why I'm here. In the following weeks and months I'll share my personal experiences, guide you through the process, and show you how to make the most out of your money and study time. You don't have to forfeit a "real" college education, you can get away with far less debt and much more time to actually get out there and use what you've learned!
So the question is...are you ready to CLEP out of here?
