Is it advisable for me to take clep composition in this situation?
#1
Hello all,
I am new to this forum. I have started taking cleps to earn some college credits of late. I have cleared three examinations already without much difficulty and have scheduled CLEP composition exam for the 31st of this month, i.e, the day after tomorrow. I haven't started preparing seriously yet. My plan is as follows:
i) Going through instantcert flashcards for today to face the MCQs
ii) Working on a couple of essays tomorrow after skimming over some tips on how to write good essays
Although, I have answered English exams many times before, I am not sure how CLEP is particularly different from the rest. If not on 31st, I won't be able to take the test again, mulling over all the things mentioned, what would your advice be? Must I take the test or not?
Thanks.

When i took the Freshman College Composition exam years ago, I used the Purdue OWL to study with. It was a good summary of basic knowledge for english comp like citing references, structure, etc.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.

Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.

Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.

Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.

Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

The IC cards will be good but I would do more then just look up some tips on how to write a good essay. Make sure you actually take some time and practice writing some timed essays.
You may also want to take a Practice test or two.
