CLEP Chemistry FAQs
- The Chemistry CLEP test assesses your knowledge of content typically covered throughout a one-year general chemistry class. The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) is designed to allow people to earn college credit for knowledge they have already acquired. The Chemistry CLEP exam assesses your understanding of content typically covered throughout a one-year general chemistry class at a college level. By taking and passing the CLEP Chemistry exam, you can earn up to 3 college credits and skip the college course, saving you a lot of time and money.
- The Chemistry CLEP test is intended to encompass the content typically covered throughout a one-year general chemistry class in a college setting. This includes the following broad topics:
- Structure of Matter – Atomic theory and atomic structure and chemical bonding
- States of Matter – Gases, liquids and solids, and solutions
- Reaction Types – Acid-base reactions; concepts of Arrhenius, Brønsted-Lowry, and Lewis; amphoterism; reactions involving coordination complexes; precipitation reactions; and oxidation-reduction reactions
- Equations and Stoichiometry – Ionic and molecular species present in chemical systems; net-ionic equations; Stoichiometry: mass and volume relations with emphasis on the mole concept; balancing of equations
- Equilibrium – Concept of dynamic equilibrium of physical and chemical; quantitative treatment
- Kinetics -Concepts of rate reaction; activation energy and the role of catalysts; the relationship between the rate-determining step and reaction mechanism
- Thermodynamics – State functions for first and second law; relationship of change in free energy to equilibrium constants and electrode potentials
- Descriptive Chemistry – Overall facts, principles, and concepts of chemistry
- Experimental Chemistry – Laboratory experiments in general chemistry about the equipment used, observations made, calculations performed, and interpretation of the results
- Anyone with prior knowledge of a CLEP subject can take a CLEP exam. Typical CLEP test-takers include high school students, military service members, and non-traditional college students who want to earn college credit quickly at a fraction of the price. If you have previous knowledge of chemistry and want to skip a college course while still earning college credit, taking the CLEP Chemistry test is an excellent idea! If you prepare before taking the CLEP Chemistry exam and pass, you could save hundreds of dollars on college tuition and bypass taking the course in college.
- You’ll receive two CLEP exam scores for the Chemistry CLEP: a raw CLEP score and a scaled CLEP score. Scaled CLEP scores range from 20 to 80. Your raw CLEP score is calculated based on how many answers you get right – you’ll receive 1 point for each question answered correctly, making your scaled CLEP score. There is no penalty for wrong answers, so guessing is encouraged. A computer scores multiple choice exams. The scaled score will be the score that appears on your CLEP Chemistry exam.
- The Chemistry CLEP exam is often regarded as one of the most difficult CLEP exams, with a CLEP Chemistry pass rate of 39 percent. That said, it will be critical that you prepare for the Chemistry CLEP exam for a couple of months leading up to test day. By creating a CLEP Chemistry study plan and by setting aside plenty of time to prepare for the CLEP Chemistry exam, you’ll have a greater advantage in achieving your best possible score for the CLEP Chemistry test so you can earn college credit and bypass the first-level Chemistry college course.
- The CLEP Chemistry Exam consists of approximately 75 multiple-choice questions, which you will be given 90 minutes to complete. These questions assess a student’s knowledge of topics covered in a typical general chemistry college course, such as organic chemistry, electron energy levels, structure and states of matter, free energy of formation and reaction, and atomic masses.
- Structure of Matter – 20%
- States of Matter – 19%
- Reaction Types – 12%
- Equations and Stoichiometry – 10%
- Equilibrium – 7%
- Kinetics – 4%
- Thermodynamics – 5%
- Descriptive Chemistry – 14%
- Experimental Chemistry – 9%
- CLEP exams test you on the equivalent of an entire college semester’s curriculum in approximately 90 minutes. While the idea is to test you on the material you are very familiar with, some practice on the content and the test itself will benefit you greatly as a satisfactory score earns you the college credit you’re after, saving you time in the classroom and money in your pocket. While everyone is different, Peterson’s recommends at least 6 weeks of Chemistry CLEP test prep to cover all of the material and concepts covered on the CLEP Chemistry exam.
- Peterson’s Chemistry CLEP exam prep prepares you for the questions you can expect on the CLEP Chemistry exam with 3 full-length online CLEP Chemistry practice tests, an overview of exam content, and flashcards to test your knowledge of key Chemistry terms. You can also access our CLEP Chemistry study guide, which provides exam details, content featured on the exam, study tips, and instructions on preparing for the CLEP Chemistry exam. With Peterson’s test prep, you can access everything to help you study and prepare for your Chemistry CLEP exam.
- Peterson’s offers three full-length Chemistry CLEP practice tests for subscribers. Taking CLEP Chemistry practice tests is one of the best ways to increase your score because you’ll be able to mimic test day and learn proper pacing and timing techniques, receive explanations for every answer so you can improve, and have clear insight into the content and format of the CLEP Chemistry test. You can also access our CLEP Chemistry Study Guide, which reviews concepts presented on the exam, along with tips for preparing for the exam.
- Yes, you can use a calculator on the CLEP Chemistry exam, but you may only use the web-based scientific calculator provided with the exam. This non-graphing calculator is part of the CLEP Chemistry exam software.
