College credit shouldn't cost a full semester's tuition.
TransferCredit.org helps students and working adults earn transferable college credit for less. You can test out of courses with CLEP® and DSST® exams, and if an exam doesn't go your way, take an ACE- or NCCRS-recommended course as a backup.
Why we exist
Many students already know enough to pass an introductory college course, or can learn it faster on their own. Credit by exam lets them prove it for about $100 an exam instead of paying for a full course. Yet most students never try.
The main obstacle isn't the exams. It's working out which exams your college accepts, what score it needs, how many credits you'll get and where they count toward your degree. We built TransferCredit.org to answer those questions and to give you a clear, affordable way to prepare.
What makes us different
Every course is built against the official exam outline from College Board or Prometric, and covers each content area in proportion to its weight on the exam. You practice with questions in the exam's style, then take a full-length practice exam before you book the real one.
We are also clear about the limits. Your college, not us, decides what credit it accepts. So we show you how to check before you spend anything.
What we offer
Everything you need to plan your credits, prepare for the exam and have a backup if you need one.
CLEP and DSST exam prep
Self-paced courses mapped to the official exam outlines, with a quiz after every lesson, hundreds of practice questions per course and a full practice exam.
