    Default Freshman comp

    This was an easy test.

    I studied using the CLEP study guide and taking 1 practice exam. I have been out of high school for 13 years and havent taken any english up to that point. I passed with flying colors. Using these online resoources you should do fine.

    Default took this a long time ago

    I took this exam in 1994 on a whim when in talking to an academic advisor, with no prep at all and scored a 63, I don't know if this helps you at all but you should do fine.

    Default A&I lit

    Long, tedious, they only one I finished with less than 10 minutes to spare but very do-able. There again I just took the clep after I was scheduled for dsst organizational behavior. This exam is reading and comprehension, know different literary terms as well. There is a specific feedback, but I didn't prepare for it, I think if I had I would have said no way and not taken it.

    Took the Freshman Composition w/o essay and didn't even finish. 90 qusetions in 90 minutes is tough. Don't think I passed. Anyone Know an online english course that is self paced?

    Default sorry

    I am sorry you don't think you passed mine was paperbased as well, but they all were back then. Depending on where you are going I don't believe that Excelsior will apply the Freshman composition course as the Writtern English requirement. Hopefully you did better than you think you did, I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

    I just got my official evaluation today from Excelsior and they gave me 3 credits in the Humanities area for my Freshman Compositon CLEP (of which I scored a 62 by the way). They didn't give me credit for the written English area.

    Hope this helps.
