English Comp or Freshman Comp? - bat21 - 08-03-2008
Which is the easiest of the (2) EXAMS TO TAKE?
ENGLISH COMP W/ESSAY or FRESHMAN COMP W/ESSAY?
Any thoughts on this would be VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
I have already taken English Comp W/O Essay a couple of years ago, and do not remember the test.
I am planning to take one or both of these exams this month.

[SIZE="2"][COLOR="Navy"]I think I would have to put my money on the English Comp w/ essay exam being the easiest of the two considering the fact that Freshman Comp is a three hour exam. I chose to go with the English Comp with Essay exam because this is the one that my university would accept for credit. It is not unusual for a college to only accept one or the other, so this may be the determining factor anyway.
I scored 52 on the English Comp with Essay exam, which is not a terribly impressive score. However, it was my first CLEP and I took it "ice cold" thirteen years after high school graduation. Walking in the door to take this exam, I was super confident that I was going to pass because English is usually a really strong subject for me. In fact, I would venture to say that I was almost too confident about it since I just barely passed. I take my CLEP exams a wee bit more seriously now.[/COLOR] [/SIZE] :o
