Best strategy for English Comp

[ryanaryn]

What’s the best option to get through English Comp (balancing easy, fast, economical)? I am working in China as a middle school English teacher, so am fairly familiar with writing and composition. Would it be better to test out at TESU (as there are no CLEP centers in China)? The TECEPs are ~$180 each (as I’m not a registered student yet), whereas I could do them both at SL for ~$180. However, after reading through the threads it sounds like taking SL and Study.com EngComp is slow and tedious. I’d rather pay the extra money if it saves me a month of waiting around for papers to be graded, provided the TECEP isn’t too difficult to pass.
How hard are the EngComp TECEPS? How long would it take to complete those two courses at SL?

I love this forum, thanks in advance for all your help!
