College Credit by Examinations like AP, CLEP, IB, DSST and Excelsior if and when passed, accepted and deemed applicable to specific college level courses can save tuition and reduce course load. Skipping subjects you know is a good thing. Why waste time in classes on subjects you already know and can demonstrate you know it. One test can save you thousands of dollars in credit hour fees, transportation and books.

Prior learning should count. When institutions proactively publish what they accept for credit, they demonstrate they are serious about supporting transfer students and the needs of all students who are trying to earn a college degree. Getting your associates degree, bachelor's degree and going to college is not just spending two-four years (or more) on campus or online. It is also about demonstrating you have the knowledge of subjects and have achieved recognition of that. These examinations programs are worth that.
