CLEP Individual Subject Guides
If you're taking just one or two CLEP exams, you should consider purchasing the Individual Subject Guides instead of the comprehensive CLEP Official Study Guide. The content for a particular subject in the comprehensive Study Guide is the same as that in the Individual Subject Guides. For $10, you will get an outline of the test, sample questions and answers and tips for preparing to take the exam. Individual Subject Guides are available for download as PDFs from the Store.

Preparation Resources for Military Service Members
DANTES Test Centers have reproducible copies of sample tests from the individual study guides. Contact your Education Services Officer or Navy College Education Specialist; or visit the DANTES homepage at www.dantes.doded.mil.
Before you buy any CLEP prep service, check with your Education Services Officer (ESO). He or she may have heard about the company from other service members and may have records of past problems or successes. Also, your ESO should have good, current information about legitimate and useful prep methods and sources. Your local Better Business Bureau may have free information about a company — be sure to check with them.
