FAQs

CLEP test takers pay an $93 fee to the College Board for the exam. In addition, there is a $35 nonrefundable administrative fee that is paid to LaGuardia Community College when you register for a test date.

CLEP scores are shown immediately (with the exception of English Composition with Essay) with the official scores mailed from CLEP in approximately two weeks.

When you register for a CLEP exam with the College Board, you can indicate the college, employer or certifying agency that you want to receive your CLEP test scores. There’s no cost for the first transcript request; your College Board exam fee covers it.
