Upon purchasing your CLEP exam, you will be given an Exam Registration Number. You will need to use this number for your testing appointment.
Once you have purchased your exam, it is very important that you print out your Exam Registration Ticket. You must bring that printout with you to the Testing Center on your test date.
*(While visiting the website above, you will have an opportunity to purchase subject-specific study guides and handbooks from CLEP. La Sierra University makes no guarantee of the effectiveness of purchasing such material, and it is entirely up you as to whether you feel this material will be beneficial to your needs.)
Register for an appointment to choose your specific CLEP exam and test date.
