If you "CLEP" out of a class, you don't get the credits, correct? You are just waiving the prerequisite to take it. For example, my test scores allowed me to skip a few 100-level courses, but I had to fill in those credits with other courses (I was an English major and just took additional English or writing courses).
Or am I wrong about the credits?
No, you get 3 credit hours for the course.
