Every year, thousands of families let AP scores, CLEP exams, and other college credits go to waste — not because the credit wasn't earned, but because nobody tracked whether it would actually transfer. Or they had to look for information in 7 different websites and need a PhD to interpret the information.
The College Credit Tracker 1.0 fixes all of that.
You're racking up AP exams, CLEP exams, and dual enrollment classes. Great — that's real college credit.
Except:
Every college accepts different exams, at different minimum scores, for different amounts of credit
Two of those exams might be for the exact same college class — meaning one of them is a total waste of time and money
The list of accepted exams changes every year, and nobody double-checks it until it's too late
By the time you find out a credit didn't transfer, your kid has already spent hours studying for it — or worse, paid to retake the class in college
You're not just risking a few wasted study hours. You're risking real tuition dollars at schools where a single credit hour can cost $300–$1,000+.
The College Credit Tracker 1.0 is a single spreadsheet — one you already know how to use — that does the research for you.
80+ colleges. Every major credit type. One dashboard.
✅ CLEP exams — which ones each college accepts, the minimum score needed, and the exact course it replaces
✅ AP exams — same breakdown, school by school
✅ ASU Universal Learner courses — tracked right alongside everything else
✅ Real course equivalencies, not vague "yes we accept credit" answers — so you know precisely what class you'll get credit for.
✅ A one-stop-shop, Is this data readily available? Sure, sort of. If you know where to look and feel like searching in 7 different places and even then, organizing the data is a battle.
✅ Play in the 'Sandbox', Not sure if you want to take an exam or course? No problem! Use the tool as a guide to discover what, how, and if you should pursue the credit options.
The feature that alone pays for this tool
Here's the thing nobody else is tracking: duplicate credit.
If your student takes both the CLEP American Government exam and the AP Government exam and an ASU Universal Learner government course, thinking they're "covering their bases" — at most colleges, only one of those actually counts. The other two? Wasted exam fees, wasted study time, zero extra credit.
The tracker catches this automatically. The instant two of your exams or courses would earn credit for the same class at the same college, it flags it — before you waste another dollar or another weekend of studying on redundant test prep.
This isn't just a checklist. It's a calculator.
Enter your colleges of interest, log the exams, and the built-in Savings Calculator shows you:
Total credits that will actually transfer
The dollar value of those credits at each specific school's tuition rate
How many semesters — and how much tuition — you could skip entirely
Watching "$0 saved" turn into "$12,000 saved" as your student adds real, transferable credit is the moment this tool sells itself.
Compare up to 3 colleges side-by-side — CLEP policy, AP minimum scores, ASU Universal Learners rules, credit caps, all in one view
Works instantly — no setup, no linking, no waiting. Open it and start typing.
Works in Google Sheets or Excel — whatever your family already uses
One-time purchase, yours to keep — track this for one kid or every kid you've got
Homeschool families managing AP/CLEP/college course strategy
Parents of high schoolers trying to shave a year (or more) off tuition
High Schoolers that are wanting to know how they can earn as much college credit as possible, efficiently.
Adults looking to go to college or back to college and don't want to start college from zero credits.
Anybody who's ever thought "wait, does that credit even transfer?" OR, "How do I know if my colleges accept this?" — and realized they had no way to check
A single wasted CLEP exam: hours of prep time, for nothing. A single semester of unnecessary tuition: $4,000–$15,000+, depending on the school. A College Credit Tracker: a fraction of a single college credit.
Stop guessing. Stop hoping the credit transfers. Know, before you or your student ever commits to CLEP, AP, or an ASU Universal Learners college courses, exactly what it's worth — and where.
