I took 2 Clep exams during my college time. Both were for basic classes that I felt were useless for me to re-take. Just a word of warning... most colleges have a limit on the number of CLEP exams you can use to fulfill required coursework, and some basic classes may be required to be classroom, no matter what. Each school is slightly different in those requirements, as I found out when I transferred schools. But CLEP tests are a great, inexpensive way of getting classes you're comfortable with out of the way. Most CLEP tests also have a study guide to help you focus your attention on what they will be testing, so you can be as prepared as possible for the test. And if you fail it, you can re-take it after a short wait, and still be under the cost of the full class. Most of the schools I've been to offer the CLEP tests themselves, and just send them off to be graded, so you can take it on campus. The only downside is that it does tend to take 6 weeks to get your score, so if it's a required pre-requisite that you're CLEP'ing, be sure to allow plenty of time for the score to be sent back to the school before you have to register for that next class.
