Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CLEP College Mathematics exam?
CLEP College Mathematics is a College Board exam that lets you earn credit for a general-education college math course by testing out of it. It covers algebra and functions, counting and probability, statistics, financial math, geometry, logic and sets, and number sense. Many colleges award credit for a score of 50 or higher on the 20-80 scale, but each school sets its own policy.
Is the CLEP College Mathematics test hard?
Most test takers find it moderate. The math is mostly high school level, but the topic mix is broad and you get about 60 questions in 90 minutes, roughly a minute and a half each. Financial math such as simple and compound interest catches many people off guard. For example, $1,000 at 5% simple interest for 3 years earns 1,000 × 0.05 × 3 = $150.
Is there a CLEP College Mathematics practice test PDF?
Yes. The College Board’s CLEP College Mathematics page offers sample questions you can download, and these ten questions also make a printable set. Print them, set a 15-minute timer, and keep a calculator handy, since the real exam provides an on-screen one. Then review every miss, including the ones you got right by guessing.
Is there a free CLEP College Math practice test?
Yes, free options exist, including this ten-question set with worked answers and the sample questions on the College Board’s CLEP site. Free sets are great for spotting weak topics. Try this one: two-thirds of 15 is 10, and 10 is 2/5 of 25. Once short sets feel easy, move to a full-length timed practice exam to build your pacing.
How should I use a CLEP College Mathematics practice exam?
Take a full-length practice exam early as a diagnostic, under real conditions: about 90 minutes, a calculator, and no notes. Sort your misses by topic, such as probability, interest, or geometry, and study the weakest two or three first. Take a fresh practice exam a week or two before test day. If the real exam doesn’t go your way, CLEP allows a retake after three months.
