Important Warning: Fraud-Scam concerning CLEP study materials

The Education Offices at both MCRD & MCAS offer a wide array of tests that are available to all armed forces at no cost to active duty. We are also available to proctor exams for universities. This service is free for active duty but can also be utilized by retired service members, family members, and civilians that work on base. Below is a listing of tests offered and a brief overview. If you would like more information or to schedule a test please contact the Education Offices.

Study Materials-for practice tests on CLEP General and Subject, ASVAB, SAT, and ACT visit www.nko.navy.mil

All testing requires prior reservation. A two-day notice for CLEP and DSST examinations is required. Excelsior examinations must be ordered at least two (2) weeks in advance.
