Changes to the English CLEPs? - Elinor - 01-13-2010
I read somewhere that they're going to change the English Comp with Essay CLEP to a College Composition CLEP, and the English Comp, and Freshman College Comp CLEPs to a College Composition Modular CLEP. How will this change things? I was going to take the English Comp with Essay CLEP this week or next week, but I'm not registered with a college yet. I wanted to do that last minute. If I go on and take the English Comp w/ Essay CLEP will it still count when I do go on and send everything to the college I choose. I'm planning on TESC at the moment.

No one can answer that question but the school itself I think. I know that whatever policies are when you enroll, that's what will apply to you so you may want to ask them what their policies are/will be after the change. If you are lucky you will get a definitive answer but I have found that until you're registered it's not easy to get those. Good luck!

The short answer - Contact the college you were looking at...
The long answer - You are *probably* fine. CLEP scores are good for 20 years, so schools that accept the CLEP will probably continue to accept the older version. A few schools I've seen have a list of acceptable CLEPs with the notation that 'If the test was taken before this date'... Such as
Principles of Accounting - 50 - ACCT 2213 & 2223
(if taken 06/07 or before)
Exam will no longer exist after June 2007
So they *should* accept it. There's too many people out there that have already taken the test that would be pulling out the pitchforks and torches if their test credit was rendered null by the change.

Thanks, y'all! I've decided to go on and take the English comp w/ essay, and hope and pray it will be accepted when that time comes!
Monday morning... Ugh, SO nervous!
