    I think it is the same like the English Comp with Essay i.e. only one. I could be wrong.

    Optional Essay Portion (Check w/ the college you are applying to)
    90 Minutes to complete 2 Essays written by hand

    From Collegeboard's Site:
    "Optional essays for CLEP Freshman College Composition and Literature exams are evaluated and graded by the colleges that require them, rather than by ETS or the College Board. If you take an optional essay, it will be sent with a copy of your score report (which includes only the results of your multiple-choice test) to the institution you designate on your answer sheet. "

    The essay portions of the Freshman College Composition and Literature exams, on the other hand, are graded by the faculty of the college you designate as a score recipient. The College Board does not specify the guidelines and criteria for grading essays. Therefore, it may be helpful to talk with someone at your college to find out what criteria will be used to determine whether you will get credit.

    Ask how much emphasis will be placed on your writing ability and your ability to organize your thoughts as opposed to your knowledge of the subject matter.
    Find out how much weight will be given to your multiple-choice test score in comparison with your free-response grade in determining whether you will get credit.
    This will give you an idea of where you should spend the greatest effort in studying for and taking the exam.
