Tedium Wrote:In the portion I quoted you told the poster that the CLEP would duplicate credit with 101 and to take the TECEP instead. At previous colleges I've attended they would have taken the CLEP and disregarded the 101 course, as happened with my Freshman College Composition, and I thought that is what you were telling them as well. Most colleges do not allow CLEP to fulfill partial requirements. If the CLEP fulfills 2 requirements for 6 credits then that is what goes on your transcript. In many cases you would not be able to keep the transferred course.
I don't see where you explained it any differently, which is why I made my post.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
In post #3 I explained it quoting the original post. Instead of quoting in my last post I typed out all the information but same exact message. It doesn't matter whether they transcribe the course or exam for ENC101 it's sitll duplicate credit. It makes more sense to just take the ENC102 TECEP for the needed 3cr than taking a 6cr exam that will require more work yet you will only receive half the credit.

I see now, sorry. You're actually probably right. College Composition w/Essay was the longest test I've ever had to take in one sitting, and that was after finishing the multiple choice with 15 minutes to spare. At the end I just had to go to the bathroom so bad I would have written anything down to finish. If you don't have to sit through it, I would recommend you taking that option. It's just one of those draining tests, and that's coming from an English major! hilarious (why on earth is that smiley so huge?!)

Hi - I took the English Comp II TECEP and it was easy! Print out the test description and answer the questions twice. Actually type the essays and answers. The exam might have a different topic for the essays but the types of essays they ask you to write are exactly the same. And you are allowed to have a handbook for the TECEP. I flagged my St. Martin's Handbook (bought used on Amazon) so I could turn right to the sections and not waste time during the TECEP. Very helpful for the citation portions. And I still use it for the 2 courses I'm taking now that didn't have a test option. On the back of the handbook was this website: bedfordstmartins.com/smhandbook with free questions on citation formats - very helpful in between practicing the essays.
Hope this helps.
