Good To Know

Questions, answered.

What's the difference between a prep course and a study guide?
A prep course ($19, lifetime access) is a full online course with chapter lessons, quizzes and a practice final exam. A study guide ($5) is a printable PDF built from the official exam outline: every key term with an example, practice questions with explained answers and a 2-page cram sheet. Many students read the guide first, then take the course for the areas they find hard. The $29 monthly plan includes both for every subject in its program.
What's the difference between CLEP and DSST?
Both let you earn college credit by exam. CLEP® (College Board, $97) has 34 subjects and the widest college acceptance. DSST® (Prometric, $100) adds 30+ more, including upper-level subjects CLEP doesn't cover. Use the All / CLEP® / DSST® filter above; some subjects are available in both.
What does the $29 monthly plan include?
Every prep course and every study guide for one program, CLEP® or DSST®, plus the backup ACE/NCCRS credit path. Cancel anytime. The Semester plan ($69 for 4 months) and the Lifetime plan ($149, both programs forever) include the same.
What is the backup ACE/NCCRS credit path?
If you don't pass your exam, or aren't ready to test, your subscription includes the same subject as an ACE/NCCRS-recommended course. Complete it online, earn official recommended credit, and transfer it. Same destination, different road.
Does my subscription cover the exam fee?
No. CLEP® fees ($97) go to College Board and DSST® fees ($100) go to Prometric, paid at the test center or online proctor. Your plan covers prep and the backup course. Active-duty military test free via DANTES.
Can I just buy one course or one study guide?
Yes. Every prep course is $19 on its own with lifetime access, and every study guide is $5 on its own. Open the course or guide and buy it there. A plan is the better value once you're prepping more than one subject.
How do I use my WELCOME25 code?
Scratch the card above to reveal WELCOME25, then paste it into the promo field at checkout for 25% off your first plan. New students, one code per customer. Terms apply.
Which colleges accept the credit?
CLEP® credit is accepted at 2,900+ U.S. colleges, DSST® at 1,500+, and ACE/NCCRS backup credit at 2,100+. Acceptance is always set by the receiving school: check your Registrar's credit-by-exam policy before you test, or use Find My College.
How is each prep course structured?
Every course is broken into chapters and subchapters, each followed by a readiness quiz, with lessons and a full-length practice final so you know you're ready before booking the exam.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. You can start a free trial to explore the library and see how the chapter-and-quiz system works before paying for a plan.
Are the exams free for military?
Both CLEP® and DSST® exam fees are free for active-duty military through DANTES. TransferCredit provides the prep; DANTES covers the exam.
What's your refund policy?
Subscriptions, Lifetime purchases, single courses and study guides are non-refundable, but you can cancel Monthly or Semester plans anytime to stop future charges. We recommend the free trial first. Questions? [email protected].
