The CLEP exams were designed to assist students with familiarity on college course subjects to get their degree in a more inexpensive and efficient manner. Students may have achieved such course knowledge through independent study and reading, on-the-job training, noncredit courses, online coursework, and taking advanced high school courses. If you're a student with such prior knowledge, taking a CLEP prep class can help you get ready for test day.

Every CLEP course session can be planned to specifically meet your studying and learning needs. When taking your CLEP prep course, a tutor can gauge your proficiency on the pertinent subjects and develop the right study plan. With this baseline, a tutor can ascertain which subjects you need more assistance in. Maybe you have less confidence in your skills in Biology and Chemistry, so CLEP classes can help you in those areas. A tutor can be flexible in the way they teach you during these CLEP prep courses.

Your raw score and scaled score are both important factors in getting to your total score. The number of questions you answer correctly is your raw score. That raw score is then converted into a scaled score. When you see your score report, that is the scaled score. During your CLEP prep classes, your tutor can give you more details on how the scoring system works.

It is important to understand how this scoring system works. However, you should focus most of your attention with your tutor throughout the CLEP courses to develop your study skills. Increasing your confidence level through improved study can be an important factor in feeling more prepared for taking these various CLEP exams. Your personal tutor can schedule tutoring sessions to fit into your busy life.
