While the name may sound abstract, Social Sciences and History cover much of the same subjects you learned about in high school—which is why the possibility of having to take this class for your first year of college may come as a surprise. Whether you’re an aspiring history major or just trying to knock out your general education requirements, you may not want to tread ground you’ve already covered.
The College Board understands this all too common dilemma, which is why they offer the CLEP Social Sciences and History exam.
It is designed with your convenience in mind, granting you the ability to skip this first-year course while still gaining the college credits you need to graduate.
