* If a student passes more than one CLEP test in the same language other than English (e.g., 2 exams in French), then only 1 examination may be applied to the Baccalaureate. For each test in a language other than English, a passing score of 50 is considered “Level I” and earns 6 units of Baccalaureate credit. The higher score listed for each test is considered “Level II” and earns additional units of credit.
