CLEP Precalculus FAQs
What is the CLEP Precalculus exam?
The CLEP Precalculus exam measures your knowledge of specific properties of the following types of functions: linear, quadratic, absolute value, square root, polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and inverse trigonometric. The College Level Examination Program, or the CLEP, is a collection of standardized tests that measure your knowledge of certain subjects. Students can earn college credit at thousands of colleges and universities by earning a satisfactory score on the computer-based CLEP exams.
What’s on the Precalculus CLEP exam?
The Precalculus CLEP exam covers the following topics: Algebraic Expressions, Equations, and Inequalities (20%); Functions: Concept, Properties, and Operations (15%); Representations of Functions: Symbolic, Graphical, and Tabular (30%); Analytic Geometry (10%); Trigonometry and its Applications (15%); and Functions as Models (10%).
The CLEP Precalculus exam allows you to use a graphing calculator. It is a multiple-choice test with two main sections. Section I is 50 minutes and will have 25 questions. Section II is 40 minutes long and has 23 questions. The total exam will be 90 minutes long, with 48 questions.
You cannot use a graphing calculator for section II of the exam, only section I. Most questions are multiple-choice, but some do require you to enter a numerical number.
For the Precalculus CLEP exam, you will be tested on the following subjects: linear, quadratic absolute value, square root, inverse trigonometric, piecewise-defined functions, analytic geometry, and more.

How hard is the Precalculus CLEP test?

Who takes the Precalculus CLEP?
Those who have taken a beginning course in or are familiar with the content in precalculus are perfect candidates for taking the Precalculus CLEP exam.

Home-schoolers, military personnel, and adult learners are typical CLEP test takers, but exams are also open to college and high school students. CLEP exams are helpful for students seeking higher education outside of the traditional classroom.
How is the CLEP test scored?
A scaled score is calculated, based on multiple-choice questions and essay scores, that range from 20 to 80. The student then earns an A, B, C, or D based on this score. The letter grade is applied to your college course equivalent. Usually, a score of 50 is a good CLEP exam score, which earns you credits for a C. To get a B-level score, you will need 61.
