Also, how many words is it?
The current college composition CLEP exam appears to consist of 50 multiple-choice questions (with 50 minutes to complete) and two essays (with 30 minutes to complete the first and 40 minutes to complete the second). Neither essay appears to have a specific word count requirement, but they cannot be done in advance.
The first essay is an opinion piece where you read a provided statement and discuss how you agree or disagree with it. No citations are required for this one. In the second essay, they provide you with sources that you use to create an argumentative essay, using citations to reference the sources. So you don't have to do any research, just use the provided sources.
Neither essay appears to require any specific citation style, as long as it is consistent, though it would probably be good to use MLA or APA style since you'll be using those two a lot in college courses.
You should take a look at the CLEP website for this exam. It answers all your questions and more:
