It seems to me that you are studying a lot for this test! I am sure you will do fine. I am actually a strong English student and I only took a few practice tests before feeling that I was ready. If you are strong at English, then you will be fine. If you are not so strong, just keep studying and practice, and you will do great!
Good luck with all, Tiffy!

I'm doing the same exam (ENGL w essay) tmrw (Mon 8th)and I'm wondering if this Instantcert stuff will really help.The 1st two sets of grammar questions seemed very easy.The 3rd set was a slight challenge and section 4 (w 63 questions) where you have to identify the "type" of error is good practice but not a realistic expectation of the question types posted on the exam.
Any feedback ? Did IS really work for you guys? I also found a site
CLEP Test Review | CLEP Test Review
Has anybody tried it?Seems like they have some mock exams
Holla back

I am new here and struggling with relearning to write a timed essay. It has been over 25 years since I wrote my last timed 5 paragraph essay on a topic, which was either unknown to me, or handed to me just before writing.
I found what I consider several great links for polishing writing skills. I realize that I may be reposting links which have already been posted, but I searched and did not find them here. I hope they are as helpful to someone as they have been to me.
