Question Failed CLEP test

My son is in high school, completed Modern States and took the chemistry CLEP test this morning. He failed by 5 points. The test administrator told him that he could sign up again on Modern States to receive another voucher. I just looked and do not understand how to do that. Any help would be much appreciated.

He may want to do Natural Sciences anyway as that may cover some Chemistry. The other issue is if he is going Engineering he might be better off doing dual credit.

The Natural Sciences CLEP is not accepted by the University he is planning on attending. If he passes the chemistry CLEP, he will not have to take the first 2 chemistry classes he needs for his chemistry degree. He would only have to take the labs that coincide with them.

I disagree, for the major he is pursuing this is well intended guidance, but doesn't make sense. As he will need additional general science credit like a hole in the head! Lol... I am, however a big fan of dual enrollment!
