College Algebra CLEP Test

The College Algebra CLEP Test covers the material that is taught in a one-semester class at the 101 college level. Half of this test is simple questions dealing in algebra. The remainder of the questions are solved by applying your knowledge to the possibly abstract question and determining an answer.

This test will cover basic algebra, equations (linear and quadratic) and logarithmic functions. This test assumes that you know the basic vocabulary, symbols and notations generally found in a college level algebra course. No questions will require the use of a calculator. However, there is a calculator built in to the testing center software. You will not be able to bring your own calculator.

This is one of the easier CLEP exams that you can take. Unless you are very experienced in math, we recommend that you take the earlier/easier math exams. The order of difficulty is as follows, from easiest to hardest: college mathematics, college algebra, precalculus, calculus.

You will need to answer 60 questions in 90 minutes. There is no penalty for guessing on the test and there are some pretest questions included that are not scored.

Testimonial

Thank you so much for your College Algebra CLEP book.  It cut out the nonsense I’ve seen in some of the other books and showed me what I needed to know.  I purchased it several months ago, lost it, and actually bought another one because I liked the format so much.  Thanks to you, I’m graduating on time with my Bachelors degree.  The woman in the Records office at my college looked and me and said, "Do you know how many of the students would kill to do what you just did?" I'd recommend your book to anyone who has a good understanding of the material who does’t want to waste their time in a semester class. -Bryanna G. 12/4/09

I just wanted to drop you guys a line and tell you that I passed my final CLEP exam last Monday which gives me all of the credits I need to graduate. I have taken 30 credits worth of CLEP exams and I’ve passed them all by using your study guides. I actually purchased one of your study guides and failed my first test. I didn’t fail because of your guide though, I failed because I didn’t manage my time effectively and I ran short. I looked at your study guide after failing though, and a lot of the information on your study guide was very relevant to what was on the test. So, I tried again with a different test and a different study guide of yours. I passed. This pattern continues for 30 credits. I graduate on June 9th thanks to you guys, so I wanted to say thank you. The guides were worth every penny. Thanks, -John S 5/21/07
