Go to Excelsiors site and register for "My Access!" it is $30 for 9 months. It will help you pass. Excelsiors written English 3 credit exam ($225) is of course accepted by Excelsior. This is something I posted a few days ago about My Access. Good luck and avoid those classes if you can.

"I started with a 4.2 and after about 15 serious attempts I got up to 5.7 (which was 579 words) . At this point I took the College Writing 3 credit exam on 4/5/08 and got a B. There are 3 essays in 3 hours (which makes the real test harder if you are not timing yourself on My Access). Only 2 of the 3 essays are graded. I am reasonably confident I got an A on the first, C on the 2nd (MLA citation needed on this essay), and an A or B on the 3rd. Whether they choose the graded essays by the highest and the lowest score or just randomly, I'm not sure. Regardless, I would not have taken the test unless I was scoring a consistent B or better on My Access (my $225 is valuable to me).

On the exam I counted the words in the first two lines, to find the ave. # of words per line, and counted the lines. I'm a slow typer so I needed a quick way to count words. Of course there is no word counter or spell checker. You can't copy and paste from the original text. However you can from your own typing (for what good that is, I do not know). Know Modern Language Association citation format. Check this website out for an explanation MLA citation style.

I was very afraid of this exam before My Access, it turned out to be quite reasonable after all."
