I was so concerned about the essay portion that I went to the school and spoke to one of the instructors. They have a program that does a pretest for the placement and it is very much like the clep essay portion. I needed to take a placement test anyway, so I asked if I could take the pretest so I would know if I just needed to enroll in the class or if I had a shot at testing out. They set me up, I tested, and I guess I was over stressing.....
On the multiple choice for the placement I made 100
On the essay pretest I made a 95
Hello Clep, here I come.
Well done keep going in that diraction
Why respond to a thread from 15 years ago? Seems odd.

If you are reasonably good at writing, grammar, and syntax, then the multiple choice section of the test should be a breeze.
Everyone makes a big deal out of the essay, but it's really not difficult at all. They give you two sources (I think, it's been a year or so) and you write an essay basically taking a position and using the provided sources. There's 20 or 30 minutes to read the sources (which are pretty short) and write the essay. There's a rudimentary text editor in the testing software.
I had no problem completing the essay a few minutes under the allotted time.
If you have any concerns, I do recommend the Modernstates.org (free) CLEP english comp prep course. It will prepare you and build confidence... and if you complete it (takes only a couple days if you spend a couple hours a day), they will pay for your exam AND the proctoring fees.

This CLEP exam has been discontinued. It has been replaced with the College Composition and College Composition Modular exams. I know because I've been taking CLEPs so long that I have credit for both. lol
@Ruby Whitted responded to a 15 year old thread. Usually, this happens when someone just doesn't pay attention, but considering how far they would have had to go back into the archives just to comment on a test they don't even administer anymore leads me to believe this poster is probably a scammer.
They will make a few posts on random threads to seem like legit members, until they pounce and post their suspicious link, whatever that may be.
Wonder what Ol' Ruby is selling?
