UExcel 110: College Writing - Cofffeee - 12-19-2020

Since all changes at TESU , UExcel can be handy. Does anyone have an idea if College Writing can come up as College Composition 1? Any idea how hard is it? I thought could be good idea to take it instead of TOEFL and get RA at the same time .   Rolleyes

I know the more expensive English Composition comes in as English Comp I & II but I don't see an equivalent for College Writing. What about the English Comp TECEP?

I agree, the TECEPS and UExcels are great for RA credits, if you can get the LL TECEPS and/or UL UExcels completed.  LL TECEPS are $150 each and the UL UExcels can be had for $110 each... don't take the expensive UExcels, some are $385+.  College Writing comes in as English Composition I.  You'll still need an English Comp II for the Bachelors degree...  

Here are a couple of older threads, but with useful info:

Lol the funny part is, as an international student i cant take TECEP unless i give TOEFL results to TESU. So this option is not for me  
If College writing comes as English com 1 then it can solve 2 issues in 1- TOEFL& RA credit

I could take Eng Com 2 at SL or Sophia

That's silly that you can't even take the English Comp TECEP!


RE: UExcel 110: College Writing - Cofffeee - 12-19-2020

Its but i cant change it . I would take already  few TECEP if i could . Have to go through TOEFL unless i can transfer RA Eng Com 1
If UExcel is $110 then its half price of TOEFL. Lol

That particular UExcel is $110, but you have to go to a testing center to take it, which isn't always easy. UExcel's are generally considered the most difficult of tests - they are THOROUGH.


RE: UExcel 110: College Writing - Cofffeee - 12-19-2020

Ok its open here but if its tough. Its smth to think about ....
Thank you

Might want to consider TEL Learning. It's about twice as much but it's still RA credit so you wouldn't have to do both the TOEFL and English Comp.


RE: UExcel 110: College Writing - Cofffeee - 12-19-2020

It looks like it will be most suitable option in current conditions. I am just not writer. Lol even in my own language. Lol
