I Suck at writing.
I took English Comp 1 at Sophia and got a 99% on it.
I am currently stuck on English Comp 2 there because its just so much writing (and many of the assignments confuse me)
I was told that I should try the Clep through modern states? Can the average person pass that? Is it easier just taking it when I get to UMPI?

If you're going to UMPI, stop! UMPI's English Comp is just 1 paper compared to Sophia's multiple assignments. Just take it at UMPI and move on to other courses you still need.

I'd say the Freshman comp CLEP or DSST advanced english comp (if your school accepts either) either test will tak 45 minutes - 2 hrs.

If you're going to UMPI take Eng Comp II at UMPI. It's MUCH easier and faster than Sophia. It's 1 paper at UMPI instead of the 6-7 on Sophia. It's one of the easiest classes at UMPI.

Take the CLEP. It is literally a few paragraphs on two topics. Very easy to pass and free! I had 3 kids that had no problem passing it.

If you suck at writing, my guess is that you will not do well on the CLEP exam. I wouldn't take it.
I also advise people who suck at writing to actually TAKE A WRITING CLASS! Why wouldn't you want to get better at it?? I mean, why avoid something you are saying you need help on?

If someone struggles with writing then UMPI is going to be a struggle. About 75% of the Final Assessments are written papers/projects so you really do need to be able to write. UMPI also has a writing lab for those who need help.

I agree with this. I was having the hardest time testing, and completing my degree because I hate writing. It's odd because I used to because I used to love writing. So I decided to suck it up and take English at a local community college this semester. It's a worthwhile skill to have on this journey.

I took the DSST for English Comp II and the TESU test. The DSST was super easy and from what I remember multiple choice.

I have taken almost all of the Sophia Classes offered. I am transferring to UMPI. I know i need a bio lab and I was told to take it at Study.com. All I see are full classes WITH a lab. Can I take just the lab? Can anyone help me figure out exactly what class I need?
