Transferring Your Scores

OK, so you've studied hard, passed your CLEP tests with flying colors, and now you're ready to transfer them to the college of your choice. Congratulations! 

This is the place I'm at in the college journey, and at first it can be a bit confusing. First of all, it's good to know on the front-end that you'll be paying $20 per official CLEP transcript and $30 per official DANTES transcript. It's a hefty fee--especially if you've racked up a lot of credits--but very, very worthwhile!

There's just a simple form to fill out for each of these programs:

• Here's the CLEP transcript request form.
• Here's the DANTES transcript order form.

You just put in your information, enclose the money, and send it off to Na-Na Land where the little pink pixies take care of everything. 

                                                                                                   Happy CLEPing!

What Happens to My Score?

The short answer is that your score is taken by pink pixies to a secret safe far, far away where it will be kept until the fated day when the order is given for the pixies to spirit it away to the college of your choice.

You don't believe me?

Well, the truth is that it varies, depending on what test you're taking and what choices you make on the front-end:


Seeing Your Score

• Most of the time you will know how well you did on a test instantly, right after you finish answering the questions. Your test administrator should also print out a copy of your scores and give it to you before you leave the testing center. If they forget, badger them within an inch of their lives until you have that glamorous piece of paper in hand!
• If your test includes an essay then you'll have to wait for it to be scored. You should receive your report in the mail 2-3 weeks later.
