Thank you to Study.com for sponsoring this post.
Did you know that you can earn college credits by just by passing a test? The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a group of standardized tests created and administered by the College Board. These tests assess college-level knowledge in thirty-six subject areas and provide a mechanism for earning college credits without taking college courses.
Not all colleges have the same CLEP policies—some colleges accept credit for a few exams, while others accept credit for all of them. A college often grants the same amount of credit to a student who earns satisfactory scores on a CLEP exam as it does for a student who successfully completes the related course.
The lessons are taught by experienced teachers who are experts in their fields and skilled at explaining complex topics in a simple, easy to understand way.
Study.com has also launched an online homeschool program, designed to be flexible enough to fulfil the needs of the homeschooling community. They have also developed a family plan for homeschooling parents, to ease the job of planning a varied curriculum and tracking their child’s progress.
This can save a lot of money because you can take as many courses as you like for one low monthly fee instead of paying expensive tuition and buying textbooks. Credits are transferable to over 1,500 colleges & universities.
The courses include comprehensive study guides and practice tests to help students prepare for these exams, earn college credit, and save money on education.
Here are some of the courses offered:
CLEP Biology: Study Guide & Test Prep
Biology 105: Anatomy & Physiology
Chemistry 101: General Chemistry
Earth Science 101: Earth Science
Introduction to Business: Homework Help Resource
Business 101: Principles of Management

Is this something that you or your child might be interested in? I was thinking that it might be great for homeschooling high school students or high school graduates taking a gap year. Also, return-to-work parents might be interested in the business courses if they are thinking of doing a career change.

Hi Dee,
They were having a sale. I fixed the pricing so now it reflects the correct pricing without the sale which is over. Are you interested? I still need to give this away.
Hi! Would you happen to have a referral code for Study.com? Do you know if it works if I have an account with them previously? Thank you
I will check whether the discount is still available and place some orders.
