We used:
Cliff Notes American Government
The Idiot's Guide to American Government
Official CLEP Guide
Peterson' s Practice Test
In addition, she reads the Wall Street Journal daily, and there is a great deal of politics discussed around the kitchen table. So, going into the junior year of High School, she has 9 credits through CLEP

Capella Loser encouraging his 15yr old to go the easy route, cheating, and saving daddy money. If a 15yr old can cram and pass the clep, admittedly without preparing enough, is the CLEP really college level ?
So much for RA Gold standards...Who else do we know that got entire degrees this way?
There's several directions one can go with this but you get my point.

in my opinion the idiot is spinning another yarn on par with all the self-aggrandizing fantasies of the degreeinfo clowns.
Even Athabasca, the most lenient I know of, expects students to be at least 17.
Furthermore, if the person took an official exam, didn't they ask for proof of identity (therefore age)?
Invigilators always did with me.
What's more amazing, yet usual online, is that for every idiot uttering the nonsense of the day, there are many more idiots buying it pronto, like that deluded joke who said he went to community college at age 15 too...
Please...
There are high schools offering extra 'special credits' that many university will accept later, but not at 15 and still within high-school.

When I was in the military our Educational Services Officer conducted CLEP's one Sunday morning while underway. Spontaneously, I opted to take an English Composition exam.
For about the first hour or so I worked diligently, but then I got bored and anxious to the point where I wanted to burst out of the door. So, I RANDOMLY selected answers for the remaining 25-30% of the exam because afterall, it was free, so what did I care if I didn't pass? Well, I did pass. In just over an hour I earned 6 semester credits, or one year's worth of English.
