The Counselor's Handbook and Guide to Credit-By-Examination. [Revised Edition].
Reese, Lee W.
The 1976 edition of the handbook provides the most up-to-date accumulation of credit-by-examination policy data available. It is the result of several independent surveys conducted over the past few years. The survey for this edition resulted in about half of the institutions listed filing updated information. The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is the only nationally available program of credit-by-examination, though more than 1000 colleges grant advanced standing on the basis of the Advanced Placement Program (AAP), and several American College Test (ACT) scores for credit. Tabular data listed for each college include the availability of the program to incoming students, the score or percentile required for credit, and the number of credits that may be awarded. The addresses of college admissions officers are also listed. (Author/BW)
