College Board says CLEP Social Sciences and History draws from introductory courses across history, economics, geography, and political science.
The exam has approximately 120 questions in 90 minutes, with some unscored pretest questions.
Topic weights are History 40%, Government/Political Science 20%, Geography 20%, and Economics 20%.
ACE recommends a score of 50 for 6 semester hours, but each institution controls its own CLEP credit policy.
The exam covers U.S. history, Western civilization, world history, comparative politics, international relations, U.S. government, geography, economics, social science terminology, methodology, concepts, principles, generalizations, theories, and evidence interpretation.
Students should build a wide review plan rather than treating this as one course. History carries the largest share, but government, geography, and economics each require enough attention to interpret data, compare evidence, and connect concepts across disciplines.
