How testing out works

Credit you can earn for the price of a fee.

01

Pick a course

Choose an intro course you could pass by exam instead of sitting through a full semester.

02

Study our guide

Work through the free material until the concepts click — no tutoring bill, no textbook markup.

03

Earn the credit

Sit the exam, pass, and apply the credit — saving the tuition and time of the whole course.

Note: credit-by-exam acceptance and policies vary by school. We'll always point you to check with your institution before you sit an exam.
