English Comp. vs. Freshman College Comp.

[lrgaul]

[SIZE="4"]I want to take an English CLEP because that seems to be my strong suit. I used the IC flashcards and got all of them correct. I would venture to say that my essay skills are relatively good, but it has been awhile :p . Which test do you guys recommend for me? I know that I only need 6 credits in English. Also, does anyone have an opinion about the actual test questions vs. the IC flashcards? Is it fair to presume that if one does well with the material on the IC flashcards, that they would also perform well on the actual CLEP? This will be my first exam and I really[I] want to do well on it! :eek: [/I][/SIZE]

Flash cards are accurate for Freshman Composition..

It is a 6 unit test. Unless you need an essay portion, I would avoid it the one with the essay.

Hi lrgaul.

It sounds like you are going to do just fine no matter which English exam you end up taking.

The first thing you need to do, however, is confirm whether your school REQUIRES you to take an essay version or not. Since we don't know which school you are attending, or planning to attend, our advice is not much use to you.

If you can give us more information, we'll be in a better place to try and help you figure out your best options.

Thanks,
