   MODERN STATES

 

The exam covers the period of United States history from the end of the Civil War to the present, with the majority of the questions on the 20th century. The exam contains approximately 120 questions to be answered in 90 minutes. Some of these are pretest questions that won’t be scored. Any time test takers spend on tutorials and providing personal information is in addition to the actual testing time.

 

The American Council on Education has recommended that colleges grant 3 credits for a score of 50, which is equivalent to a course grade of C, on the CLEP History of the United States II exam. Each college, however, is responsible for setting its own policy. For candidates with satisfactory scores on the History of the United States II exam, colleges may grant credit toward fulfillment of a distribution requirement, or for a particular course that matches the exam in content. Check with your school to find out the score it requires for granting credit, the number of credit hours granted, and the course that can be bypassed with a passing score.
