I apologize for the tardy response! Hopefully, this response will help others out with the same question. Based on the scoring guide from CollegeBoard, your two essays (Freshman Comp w/ Essay) will be scored using a rubric provided by collegeboard.

Yes, you'll see what you scored on the multiple choice portion of the test. The Essay is graded by your institution which (supposedly) will be using a scoring rubric designed by College Board to determine your final overall score. Your school has the final word on whether you get credit or not. I hope this information is useful.
**Update** Passed English Composition w/ Essay scored 54. I'm confident the essay portion dropped my points total. Nonetheless, this is a huge weight off my shoulder due to it being one of the last exams needed for my BA. Word of advice, do not wait to take this exam because the mail schedule is pretty long. Put it this way, the test was taken on the 9th of April and the results arrived on the 10th of May. Allow time for this one! Here's a scoring time-table that will help you gauge when to take your test for more predictability of the mailed results.
Materials Used: REA CLEP (General EXAM Book), Petersons Practice Tests, IC Flashcards, Official College Board Guides, and the Free Clep Prep Guide.
I did not focus my study on essay writing too heavily. I read through the forums (thank you SEARCH function) and discovered many people were using the 5 Paragraph Essay format. Also, I structured my thesis and conclusion like the hyperlink recommends. Cheers!
