College Composition

[Elitis]

I've never heard that you have to do APA style formatting - I think it's simpler than that (although I could be wrong).

Well, here you can see they mention it at Ability to Use Source Materials (25%)

Also, the other link that was provided had it mentioned, http://www.free-clep-prep.com/College-Co...-CLEP.html
it says just pick APA or MLA whichever your more comfortable with.

I guess it's more of I've never heard anyone discuss this when doing the exam. So I think you've made it more complicated than you needed to.

This. You're over-complicating it. All the essays require are in-text citations. No less, no more. I did not do any headings, titles, outlines, or references pages when I passed mine. I definitely did not write nearly enough to have to worry about separating pages. I'd say if you can write multiple pages of content for the essays within the allotted time, you are a much better writer than I am and should pass easily.

Note that it does not mention APA, MLA, Chicago, or any other citation/formatting style at all during the section of the link you provided having to do with the essay portion of the exam. So it seems that stuff is mostly important for the multiple choice section, not the essay section.

I'm not sure if things have changed, but when I took the exam (this was a couple years ago), I just made an in-text reference to my sources (e.g. "According to a survey by Jones...."), and didn't write a reference list or do any other formatting (other than indenting the start of a new paragraph). I passed with a 63.

And this. This was all I did as well. No formatting or reference list to make. I actually couldn't indent (at least using tab) during the essays. I tried to.
