Almost.

Option 2
The GRE Subject Test in Literature, evaluated at 18 credits (15 lower, 3 upper), plus 18 credits approved by the faculty, beyond the lower level, and at least 12 of which must be upper level. Introductory English and American Literature courses or CLEP tests will be duplicative.


I think the treatment of any CLEP or DSST credits as duplicative when combined with a GRE is consistent for both Charter Oak and Excelsior for all majors/concentrations. Not sure about any other schools.

The more I hear about GREs the better they sound! Would it be pointless for me to take both the English Comp w/Essay CLEP and the English GRE?
