Does the College Composition CLEP recognize the use of the Oxford Comma?
I just missed a couple practice questions because I tried to use it. Can anyone confirm if the Oxford Comma was used in actual test questions?

While I personally use the Oxford comma because it adds value by reducing ambiguity, I realize it's a genuine difference of opinion among writers of English and I wouldn't mark its absence as incorrect. CLEP really shouldn't be promoting one side or the other on this.
