College Level Examination Program
CLEP tests are much like Advance Placement (AP) tests and are administered at Santa Fe Community College. They have the advantage of being less expensive than AP Exams, and may be taken any time a student is ready to test rather than only one day in May per year, as is the case with AP Exams. Both tests (AP and CLEP) are administered by and for the College Board. College credits earned in this manner are then transferable to the university to which the student is accepted. Cornerstone students have earned credit in this way.
Advanced Placement Exams
AP Exams are given nationwide on select days in May. Cornerstone students have taken AP Exams in English, Physics, and Calculus, and have earned college credit in this manner.
