Gary's advise is right on. The Written English requirement is only 3 credits, ENGX 101
College Writing (410) EXAM 3/ L. Your other credits from CLEP's English Comp will give you 3 additional credits. The exam is 3 essays in 3 hours. It is recommended to make them 500 words or more. I am not any good at typing (I'm slow). I got a B. "My Access" lets you refine your skills. I can't tell you how valuable "My Access" is. It is the same exact program that grades the exam. "My Access" costs $30 for 90 days
. You can register and pay for "My Access" from Excelsior's website. For one of your essays you will need to know how to use Modern Language Association (MLA) style of citation (Look up on Google). I used 3 paragraphs, opening, body, conclusion. Don't use words that you don't know how to spell, although it didn't seem to grade harshly if you only have a few mistakes. Longer sentences that are properly punctuated are considered more complex sentences. They help raise your score. I hate essays the most.......well..... almost as bad as taking classes. :-)
