I highly highly recommend that you take from your in-state RA CC ENG 101 and 102 or their equivalent. These are almost always now available from your CC entirely online, almost always transferable to any senior institution in the country, and the CC tuition per credit hour is always a bargain for the resident student. Although the two full terms required to complete the regimen may seem at first slow boat, these are the two most fundamental courses for future high achievement college success. Even if you can CLEP out of the requirement for a certain currently planned institution, things change and this particular CLEP is not well accepted at top senior institutions. Additionally, the online experience at a "real" school will help you with many future academic challenges. The PIA online discussion board postings usually assigned as part of this course with peer reviews of your work can be really helpful to the learning process for this particular subject. No matter how advanced you enter these two courses, you will exit at a far greater level by being forced to work through the courses in a full term manner. Many times I have had students completely stymied with upper level work because they short cut the rigorous requirements of full term courses in this area. Good luck.
