Since the CLEP test or the College Level Examination is administered by the College Board of America as an entry level examination for the undergraduate students, the CLEP test curriculum is same as that of the first and second semesters of the college study. So candidates can start their preparation with the college study materials. But the test-takers are advised to visit the official website of the College Board of America in order to have a full understanding about the CLEP test. They can also have full access to all available online CLEP examination resources provided in the website.

The College Board’s official website serves as the best online resource centre for the test-takers for their CLEP Test preparation. A lot of study materials are available on this website for download and online practice. The College Board has already published CLEP Official Study Guide 2010 which is designed as the complete information source for the CLEP test with all sample CLEP test papers and their answer keys.

Before starting a systematic test preparation, candidates must decide the subject of their interest from the 34 subject areas offered for the CLEP test and while choosing the subject, candidates must be well confident that they can score a qualifying CLEP test score by appearing for that individual CLEP test.

Candidates who are very confident of their subject knowledge may choose for self study by preparing on their own for the CLEP test but other candidates must definitely develop a systematic study plan for the test preparation. An ideal test preparation strategy includes constant practice with the sample test papers and regular review of the study materials and other resources.

Test-takers may also buy commercially available CLEP Individual Exam Guides which describes the outline of the CLEP test; test taking tips and previously administered sample question papers and their answers.

Since the CLEP test is a computer software based test, test-takers must be familiar with the CLEP test format and the software used for the test. There are numerous CLEP sampler free demos available online and the test-takers may download these samplers in order to practice with them.
