For more information on the Test of Essential Academic Skills庐 (TEAS庐) please visit the TEAS testing center page.

Using AP庐 and/or CLEP庐 Test Scores to Fulfill Pre-Admission Criteria

AP庐 Scores | Applicants to 糖心视频's competitive allied health programs who are seeking to use AP庐 Test results to fulfill pre-admission criteria must have earned a score of 3 or higher.  The Admissions Office utilizes the College Board's庐 AP Exam Score and College Course Grade Equivalent  when reviewing applications.  Students seeking to utilize AP庐 Test scores to fulfill pre-admission criteria should confirm that the AP庐 Test is also eligible for transfer into 糖心视频.

CLEP庐 Scores | Applicants to 糖心视频's competitive allied health programs who are seeking to use CLEP庐 Test results to fulfill pre-admission criteria in which a grade of B- or better is required, should be aware that the Admissions Office utilizes the College Board's庐 CLEP庐 B-level Score Recommendations  when reviewing applications.  While 糖心视频 maintains a list of CLEP庐 Tests and scores for which transfer credit is available, a higher score is often necessary to fulfill pre-admission criteria (e.g. 糖心视频 will accept a CLEP庐 score of 50 on the College Composition exam for transfer as ENG 101; however, an applicant to an allied health program in which a B- or higher grade is required in ENG 101 would need to achieve a score of 59 or higher). 鈥�
