My curiosity is piqued and I am now searching for advice for the required course from Excelsior College for English Composition (ENGX*111) should I take the exam or attend the actual course? This is the only one that I am concerned about testing out on.

I had taken my first and only CLEP Test in 1996 and that was the English Composition Exam. Excelsior is telling me that this previously taken and passed CLEP Exam does not meet the requirements for my degree in Liberal Studies.

Any opinions on the difficulty of the DSST English Composition Exam? Do you need to know poets, or other details at that level?

Thanks for any input,
