CLEP examinations cover material taught in courses that most students take as requirements during the first two years of college. Colleges generally grant the same amount of credit to students earning satisfactory scores on the CLEP examination as it grants to the credited course.

Most exams are 90 minutes with multiple-choice questions except for the College Composition exam. This exam is a two-hour test and includes multiple-choice questions and two essays. Score reports for all examinations, except College Composition, are available immediately after completion of the test. The College Board mails official results to students and the designated institution within two to three weeks. College Composition results may take up to six weeks.
