Question about TESC and College Composition Modular exam

[dcan]

Not sure if someone here can answer this, but on the off chance...

I'm very seriously considering TESC for a BSBA/CIS degree. However, I need to sprint to complete my CCAF AAS degree, and part of that requires an English Composition credit. I plan to use the CCM CLEP for this sometime next week. CCAF doesn't require the essay, but "with essay" is the only testing option offered at my testing center.

I understand I'm supposed to state what school to send the essays to when I sign in. But CCAF doesn't need or want them, and I'm not registered with TESC or any other school yet. Will CollegeBoard hold the essays until I tell them where to send them? I doubt that, but I don't know. Should I pay the $75 to TESC for an eval and be considered "enrolled" (military) and then take the test? Or does it matter?

Note that I'm probably going to take the Eng-102 course from TESC, because it focuses on "real" essay writing in MLA/APA style, which I've never done. I can write a mile, but I need discipline. I would however like to get the credit for Eng-101 through CCM if at all possible. I've studied it for a few weeks and don't want to waste it.

Thanks!

You don't have to send them right away. College Board will hold them for you. When you're ready, all you need to do is filling up an application and pay a fee to have your transcripts sent to the school of your choice.

Perfect, thank you. I will probably enroll in the next couple of weeks or so anyway. I just didn't want to "lose" my essays and have to take the full College Composition exam.

I’m sorry I misread your post. I thought we were talking about regular CLEPS without the essay portion. I need to take back what I said. I have no idea whether College Board will keep the essay part for you until you enroll. However, have you look at Straighterline’s ENG courses?
