A CLEP College Algebra course from Varsity Tutors is an opportunity for you to study in a focused, individualized manner for this important exam. Because many colleges allow students who pass a CLEP test to receive course credit and bypass introductory-level courses, a CLEP College Algebra class can have a significant impact on your academic career.
CLEP College Algebra courses can help you to refine and solidify your understanding of key algebraic ideas. The CLEP test assumes that those taking it are already familiar with the vocabulary, notation, and symbols used throughout algebra. The exam aims to test not just basic understanding but a more thorough and holistic understanding of the topic. A CLEP College Algebra prep course can help you with each of the sections of the test which are as follows:
| Topics | % of Test | # Questions |
Time |
| Algebraic operations | 25% | 60 | 90 Minutes |
| Equations and inequalities | 25% | ||
| Functions and their properties | 30% | ||
| Number systems and operations | 20% |
Students preparing for the CLEP College Algebra test will be asked to display their understanding of the following concepts:
Topics
- Operations with exponents
- Factoring and expanding polynomials
- Operations with algebraic expressions
- Absolute value
- Properties of logarithms
- Linear equations and inequalities
- Quadratic equations and inequalities
- Absolute value equations and inequalities
- Systems of equations and inequalities
- Exponential and logarithmic equations
- Definition, interpretation, and representation/modeling (graphical, numerical, symbolic, and verbal)
- Domain and range
- Evaluation of functions
- Algebra of functions
- Graphs and their properties (including intercepts, symmetry, and transformations)
- Inverse functions
- Real numbers
- Complex numbers
- Sequences and series
- Factorials and binomial theorem
CLEP College Algebra prep courses are an opportunity to focus on the areas of the exam that are most difficult for you. Because you work alone with a skilled tutor, your sessions are devoted to your needs. Everyone learns differently, and in CLEP College Algebra prep classes you and your tutor can plan your time based on your learning style. Whether you are a visual learner, whether you learn by doing, or whether you learn best through hearing information, your tutor can help you increase your understanding of the material and develop your skills.
Each CLEP College Algebra course takes place online. This makes it easier for you to attend, as you can attend from anywhere with an internet connection. CLEP College Algebra tutors are available at a variety of times. When you register for a CLEP College Algebra class, we will place you with an instructor who is able to meet at times you are available. You don't have to make your life fit around your CLEP College Algebra preparation, but rather your preparation fits your life.
A CLEP College Algebra prep class is a great opportunity to develop your study skills. The feedback, attention, and instruction you receive can not only improve your preparation for this particular exam but can also teach you what it looks like to prepare well for future exams. This makes a CLEP College Algebra course an investment not just for this particular exam, but for your academic career.
In order to help you make the most of your time preparing for the CLEP College Algebra exam, you and your instructor can devote time to test-taking strategies. These strategies can help you manage your time well on the exam and make the most of the opportunities on it.

I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a BA in English, and just wrapped up a MS in Data Science from Northwestern. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is allowed to understand the material rather than be lectured at, they're more likely to do well in the future.

I did PhD research in computational chemistry and dream of becoming a middle school math teacher if I win the lottery. PS - My online sessions will frequently be monitored by my chihuahua, Piper. She's quiet, but expect a pop-by :)... Students learn best by doing problems and talking through their process. I like to have a student talk me through what they understand so we can correct any flaws in background knowledge, as well as build a scaffold to solve future problems.
