Apparently, you can use the Freshman College Composition CLEP to replace English 101. If you plan to do this, do it before July, 2010, as that CLEP will be retired.

I would have to say no. Most CLEP credit is designed for undergraduates. There maybe a way you can test out of certain classes (which may use CLEP exams), but those will more than likely be prerequisites to your Masters/PhD.

The most cost effective way to pay for college would probably be to use something called CLEP tests. Check with the school of your choice and see how many alternative transfer credits they will accept from CLEP. Try to find a school that will accept up to 60 credits of CLEP. Then, study for CLEP tests until you earn 60 credit's worth, transfer in, then complete your degree. CLEP tests usually are $100 including the study material and can earn you anywhere from 4-12 credits per test.

CLEP stands for the "College-Level Examination Program." In essence, an individual can receive college credit for knowledge already acquired through life experience. CLEP offers a variety of exams in general and subject particular areas.

Earning a degree takes time that some people may lack. There is one legitimate way for those who do not have time to take extra classes to graduate sooner - the CLEP exams. CLEP is an abbreviation for College Level Exam Program, affording students the chance to test out of 1 or 2 years’ worth of studies. Each CLEP exam is designed for a specific area of study in which students are awarded points. Before taking these exams, there are several things students should consider.
School ApprovalBefore testing appointments, students should have a good idea of exactly which schools they plan to attend. Each school has different criteria for CLEP credit. After choosing about 5 or 6 prospective schools, one should contact an admissions counselor or research the school’s website to see how much CLEP credit is recognized. Some schools may award full points for CLEP credit while others may award only partial credit - this is a very important factor to consider.
Understanding ScoringIn order to better understand how much credit will be received at each chosen school and how points are determined, students should read the chart on collegeboard.com about CLEP scores. When taking the CLEP exam, students should remember to enter information for the schools they wish to receive their scoring information - otherwise separate transcripts must be requested.
Testing CentersAfter deciding upon a school, preferably the one that will award the most credit, a student then must locate testing centers. Most centers are located at libraries, colleges or other educational institutions. As of 2010, the CLEP test remains around $75 or $80 dollars, depending on the amount of fees added.
Studying For CLEP ExamsStudy guides with sample test questions and answers may be purchased from testing centers for about $10. Also many larger bookstores sell books designed for each CLEP exam to help students prepare. These books are often expensive, but most large bookstores allow people to sit and read books, so students may be able to rely on them to some extent. Generally the study guides provided by testing centers and colleges are the best source - and the least costly.

Each CLEP exam is worth 3, 6, or 12 credits, depending on the exam. Most subject specific exams are 3 credits each, the broader exams are usually 6 credits, and some of the language exams are 12 credits.
The maximum amount of CLEP credits that can go to a degree is approximately 30 credits at most colleges, although some colleges allow around 60 credits. A few programs, such as the CollegePlus! program, help students test out of apprximately 90 credits, while still earning a fully accredited degree.

Always check with your college, but a general rule of thumb would be either English Composition w/ Essay, or Freshman College Composition. These tests will change to College Composition in July of 2010.

I believe the answer would be plasmodes, lignins, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi bodies.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but this is a difficult one. I think I recently took the Biology CLEP and saw this weird-ass question that even after seeing it on this post, remembering it on the CLEP, researching for one full hour with the entire Internet at my disposal, I still could not answer just like I couldn't during the test.
Personally, I think this question ensures the CLEP people that you WILL NOT get a perfect score.

College Algebra is a specific subject test, so you will need Algebra knowledge. However, if you have high school Algebra II level knowledge, it shouldn't be a problem for you. My only preparation for that exam was a high school Algebra II course.

I have taken and passed 17 CLEP exams, plus 7 DSSTs, so I think I can definitely speak to this issue. My overarching strategy for most of my exams has been to study the subject using an online flashcard-based study resource such as www.SpeedyPrep.com, as well as sometimes a supplemental resource just to play it safe. The other thing I do every time, is to take a practice test from the CLEP Official Study Guide (http://store.collegeplus.org/product.sc?productId=6&categoryId=8) to make sure that I am ready to take the test.
On test day, go take and pass the test. Use standard elimination tactics if you aren't sure on a question, and answer every question! Never leave a question unanswered, as you are not penalized for guessing, and there is always that chance that you will guess correct.
