I’d highly recommend taking CLEP instead of AP as he has the potential of getting more credits, gets those credits without having to take another language class, and will get his score instantly. Do note that not all colleges accept CLEP credit in the event he wanted to transfer from UA. The same is also the case with AP exam credit, but to a different degree.

There are likely several locations in your area which offer CLEP exams. Call around and see which ones have open testing times very soon. Taking CLEP early may mean that he can get a partial refund for the AP exam fees. Note that many CLEP testing centers are located on military bases; civilians are often allowed to take CLEP exams on military bases.
