Hi!
My college requires the optional essay for the analyzing and interpreting literature CLEP. Today was my test day. I went to the testing center and informed the staff there that I intended to take the optional essay portion, however they did not seem to be aware that such a thing existed. I advised them of what it said on the College Board's website, but they insisted if any essay was part of the test that it would be on the screen at my testing station.
I passed the exam with well over the required score for my school (they don't use the ACE scores for some reason), but now I am at a loss. Will I have to wait until December and try to take the test again at a new center? I really don't want it to come to that, but I also want my 3 credits. Anyone have any ideas on this?
