AP Tests
AP (Advanced Placement) courses and tests are given by high schools to allow students the opportunity to earn college credit in selected subject areas.

Foreign Language Tests
Unlike the AP or CLEP tests, our Foreign Language Tests do not award college credit but can exempt you from lower level courses. Students often save money and time by placing into more advanced levels in order to fulfill their Foreign Language requirement.
The tests can be taken remotely so long as the student has a B#, an OCU email address, and a computer with audio recording capabilities (such as what they would use for Zoom).
Testing is available in Spanish, French, German, Russian, and Chinese. The test costs $20 and can be taken multiple times; we will use your highest score. Score results are viewable instantly, and automatically accessible to the school.
Register online for the foreign language test, and within 1-2 business days you will receive an invitation to the testing portal. You will have seven days before your access to the testing portal expires. Contact Dr. Karen Schiler, chair of English & Modern Languages, with questions or concerns.
CLEP Tests
CLEP (College Level Examination Program) tests are administered at OCU once a month. These tests allow students to receive college credit by taking subject examinations. The OCU undergraduate catalog lists the subject area examinations and their corresponding courses. These exams can be taken at any institution that offers CLEP testing. The College Composition exam needs to be taken by July 15th for fall matriculation. Please plan accordingly.
To register for an exam, go to www.collegeboard.org and click on the My Account portal. You will register and pay online. The cost per test is $89. Additional costs may apply, depending upon the subject.
