In the CLEP College Composition exam, it is one of the few tests that do not give you a score immediately, as they have to account for the human reviews. That generally means it takes a few weeks to get your result. The modular version you do get your score immediately, but it doesn't have an essay component.
I'd love to see a sophisticated AI that could properly interpret an essay. I know there are AI driven lexical analysis parsers that can do a pretty good critique of structure and grammar, but I'd be amazed to see one that can actually interpret arguments and understand rhetoric.
hey Merlin, I didn't make it clear in my previous post. Actually, I am taking the Modular version. And, yes, I don't know how AI can interpret arguments either. I will let you know how the test goes next week.

Your essays are read by a team of English teachers on retainer. I picked that up from research previously. It takes a few weeks because they have to read the essays and grade them, then send the grades back to CollegeBoard for final score calculation.
FYI I walked into a military education office and took College Composition Modular, and had to stay an extra 70 minutes to write two essays. Essays were not required for my original school (CCAF) but I couldn't walk out without writing them. Well, I could have I guess, but I probably would have received no score. The test clearly said College Composition Modular.
Today I had an advisor at TESC tell me I have six credits from CCM. I am arguing with him that this contradicts TESC policy of 3 credits for CCM vs 6 for the full CC exam, but maybe it is because of the essays, not sure.
