    Default Which English Comp to Take ?

    My college accepts either the Eng. Comp with essay and the one without. Which one is easier and other than the obvious what are the other differences ? Should I take the DANTES one or the CLEP ? Please share your experiences with me.

    My other question is if I pass an exam but do not have the pre-req will my college still accepts it anyway ?

    Thanks all.

    Hi Adrian,

    Most of the study guides I have read, suggest that the version without essay is much more difficult. I have only taken the version with essay, so obviously I can't make a comparison.

    The version without essay includes some sections that involve much more complex grammar and syntax questions than the version with essay. So I wouldn't doubt that the essay version is easier. However, it is all relative to what YOUR skills and abilities are.

    With regard to the pre-requisites, you should contact your school and find out what their particular policy is. I'm sure this is a policy that will vary from one school to the next.

    Good luck,
    Snazzelfrag

Please share your experiences with me. Can't help you with this one, but I'm sure others will be able to.
    My other question is if I pass an exam but do not have the pre-req will my college still accepts it anyway ? I would rely ONLY on an answer from an OFFICIAL School Advisor for such a difficult question as the rest of us here would simply be guessing, or at least taking an educated guess.

    Thanks all.

    GOOD LUCK!!
