A random sample of 100 students who had participated in the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) at DeKalb Community College (Georgia) was compared with 100 non-CLEP students on factors of Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) scores, grade point average, academic units earned, and age. CLEP students averaged a SAT verbal score of 560 and 490 on math compared to 410 in each area for non-CLEP students. A grade point average (GPA) of 3.5 and 53 quarter units were earned by the CLEP group, while non-CLEP subjects averaged a 2.7 GPA and 45 units. The CLEP group averaged 29 years of age compared with 22 years for non-CLEP students. All differences were statistically significant. (RT)
