Which composition CLEP for TESC? - darbycreek - 10-05-2011
I know that the composition CLEPs have changed, and I am also noticing that the CLEP course equivalencies are nowhere to be found at tesc.edu at the moment. At least I can no longer find them. I don't know what that means. Are they re-evaluating things? Trying to make it harder to figure out? I do have them printed out from last year, but is last year's list still good?
Anyway, do I want College Composition or College Composition Modular? Or is there some doubt at this time as to which one I should do?
Thanks!

Well, I did finally find it in their catalog. Now I have another question. Will it work for me to take the College Composition (general) without having the scores sent anywhere? Will the College Board grade my essays and give me six hours of credit and keep it on file--just like with all the other exams? Thanks again!!

Have you been admitted to TESC yet? If so, the story is different. If not, here is the story as I understand it. You can take the exam, CLEP will "grade" your essays, and they will keep the score. When you're ready, have CLEP send it to TESC. If you've been admitted to TESC, I think that the story is different. TESC will provide CLEP with the essay topics, AND the essays will be graded by TESC.

If LaterBloomer is correct, this would mean the difference between 2 completely different tests -- College Composition is where the CLEP graders provide a score for your mandatory essays; College Composition Modular is the test where you receive a score on how you did over the multiple-choice section and your optional essay (supplied by CLEP) is forwarded along with your score to your college for them to score. Do you have a contact at TESC to call? You definitely do not want to waste your time or money by taking the wrong exam.

Something is wrong. I took CCM + 2 essays and had the package sent to a community college that didn't care about the essays, only the multiple choice score. I then sent my transcript to TESC and TESC told me I had earned credit for BOTH WER requirements based only on my CCM + essay test.
Yet TESC never saw my essays.
Er, wha?
EDIT: @BGSU_Alum_86, the CLEP website states CCM uses a centrally provided essay OR essay provided by the college of your choice, but in either case it apparently is scored by the college. CC is centrally provided and centrally scored.
Which begs the question, who the heck scored my essays?
