ACADEMIC ADVISING College Level Examination Program (CLEP) Students may receive as many as 30 semester hours credit. CLEP examination scores must meet the minimums established by the State University System. CLEP testing is available on campus periodically and is administered by the Office of Instructional Resources. The university awards credit for CLEP exam- inations based on the following scaled scores: CLEF General Examination English Comp. with Essay Social Sciences Natural Sciences Biology Physical Sciences Humanities Mathematics Minimum Score Required for Credit Scale Score 500 Scale Score 490 Scale Score 490 Scale Score 490 Scale Score 500 Maximum Semester Hours Credit 6 6 NOTE: CLEP credit may not be used to ful- fill the general education requirements. Students who score a minimum 490 or higher on the natural sciences examination will receive three semester hours of credit in both biological and physical science. Students should consider seriously their decision about taking the CLEP general exami- nation in English. Experience has shown that those who score below the 75th percentile are often handicapped because they have not had college courses in composition. However, those students who do decide to take the CLEP English examination are required to take the essay option so that their scores will be based in part on a writing sample. CLEP Subject Area Examinations: If English subject examinations (Freshman English or College Composition) are taken, the essay option must also be taken. A minimum score ensures that the essay portion of the exam is eli- gible for review by UF evaluators. This score in itself does not guarantee that credit will be awarded; favorable review must be received on the essay. A minimum score of 51 is required for college composition and for freshman English. The maximum credit allowed, if the minimum score is achieved and the essay is acceptable, is six semester hours. Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences can use CLEP Spanish, French and German examinations to exempt the college lan- guage requirement. Department Examinations: Departments may grant credit to students who perform well on departmental subject examinations. For specific information, contact the relevant department. SAT II Placement Examinations Scores on the SAT II are the basic criteria for placement in English composition, calculus, chemistry, Spanish, French, German and Latin. Prior to registration, all freshmen will be required to present an SAT II writing achieve- ment test score. Scores also must be submitted by students who plan to enroll in chemistry, cal- culus or French, German, Latin and Spanish (if students have some prior study of these lan- guages elsewhere). Students may substitute AP/IB credit for any SAT II examinations. Consult the SAT II placement information in the Admissions section of this catalog. Superior results allow students to enter advanced courses at the beginning of their col- lege careers, to fulfill some requirements by examination rather than by course work, and in some instances to earn credit toward the degree. SAT II subject test scores are required for placement into certain UF courses.
