Failed - Freshman English Comp.

[lostcamel]

This morning I took Freshman English Composition. It was supposed to be the version with essay, but I’m unsure? The test was 90 questions with 90 minutes to complete. At the end of the test I submitted the score and got a 46. This of course is to low for TESC, so the proctor asked if I still wanted to do the essay. He had a hand written form for the essay piece. I’m confused because the CBT piece of the test never mentioned the essay. Should I have continued to the essay even though my score was low? Do the scores of the CBT and essay add up?

Anyways I got one more shot, I can do the English Composition in a week or two and it will serve the same purpose. I had studied for the English Composition, so I’m thinking I should have done that, but the proctor claimed that he didn’t have any essays on-hand for that test. Thanks for any advice.

hey
Sorry to hear about that. I gave English composition without essay ,but unfortunely failed with 45. My other friend who gave the exam with me passed with 55, she was able to complete the exam.
So now on this Thursday , giving my Freshman college composition. any advise for that.

For English composition, my main drawback was the Time. It felt it was lengthy and i was reading quite slowly the passages. I had 2 passages left in last 5 mins.
I wished i had not spent too much time on the Grammar section- was reading the sentences twice to confirm my answers.

Also i read in the forum finish rest of the test and in the End do Analytical writing. I did that. It does not WORK well. I wasted time going back to the question and skipping questions. Just go from question to question and mark if unsure of the answer . So i do not advise to do the analytical writing at the end.

Books to refer.

Peterson Clep
Priceton Clep both books very good for the theory review
Officical clep guides

Practice the peterson clep - i ususally got the around the same score in Clep exams.
