Hello Everyone,
I am new to the site. I am preparing myself to try and finish school taking a lot of cleps. i hope i can do it. i really want to go to Thomas Edison and i am trying to follow their guidelines and clep so i won't have much to do when i actually apply. i have my license which will hopefully earn me more credits in my major. which brings me to my question....
when i called the testing center today at uwf, the lady told me that the english with essay only counts towards english 1 and not english 2. she said most colleges only count it for english 1. is that true? if that's the case then should i even bother taking it since i already have english 1? thanks for any advice i can get....

Hi, I just signed up today and was looking around and saw your post. I am taking the English Comp with Essay next week. I am enrolled at Thomas Edison and am almost done. I consulted two counselors on two different occasions, and they both said that Thomas Edison accepts English Comp without Essay Clep for ENC-101, and English Comp WITH essay for ENC-101 and 102, which satisfies the english comp for my degree: BSAST in Nucl Eng Tech. Does that help?

I've only taken Technical Writing, and passed it without studying because of my field in the Navy. For English Comp, I was using a CLEP Study book which is just one sample exam. I stumbled upon Instant Cert last week and it seems to be a very good prep for the sample exam that I have. I plan on taking English Comp with essay on Tuesday, and then MicroEcon on Friday. Then, I need one more Humanities and I have my BS. I'm thinking of taking the Spanish CLEP - 3 yrs in high school. I'll let you know how the English Comp goes...
