- VLM 13y agoCLEP tests rocked http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_Level_Examination_Program http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_Level_Examination_Progr... They're like $80 now... in the olden days they were something like $10. A truly excellent startup idea which no one has apparently tried (that I know of) is a MOOC focused on the CLEP "curriculum", basically a semi-continuous monster study group. There's a giant hole in the MOOC industry for testing and credentialism. Well, there you go, take your CLEP test and they handle all the testing and stuff. This also shows the ripoff of some industry specific cert exams. Why did a Cisco CCNP Routing test cost something like $200 a decade ago for a total cost for a CCNP of about $800 but a CLEP test in 2013 is only $80? I know there's economies of scale but this is ridiculous. Outsourced reasonable priced industry certs is another MOOC startup ripe for massive disruption.
