CLEP is something different. That is when a college allows you to demonstrate competence in whatever subject, and if you do that you are awarded credit for that course without actually having to take it.Hmm...when I was in school we had take this test, I think it was called "CLEP", regardless of SAT scores.
Maybe CLEP wasn't it. It was for the college to see what kind of classes to put you in, or if you were college material at all.
ACT and SAT measures a level of knowledge in various subjects that is then interpreted as ability and likelihood of being able to master the coursework and a higher percentage of graduation. Good universities who have to limit the number of students who enroll accept those who score highest on the ACT and/or SAT tests first. Or at least they used to.
