Also in the CLEP PREP CENTER are individual subject study guides which can be downloaded for $10 apiece and the CLEP Sampler which can be downloaded free of charge. Prices subject to change.
Q: What is the total cost of the exam?
A: The total cost of the test is $100.00. A $65.00 exam fee is payable by check, money order or credit card. The $35.00 administrative fee is payable by u-bill (if you are a current Iowa State student), check, money order or cash. All fees are non-refundable and subject to change.
