The DSST Principles of Advanced English Composition is also all multiple choice, no essays - and would count for ENC-102. That would include going to a testing center, but I'm willing to bet you could finish more quickly than the CLEP w/Essay.
I thought the English Comp II TECEP exam was fairly easy - yes, an "essay" was required, but it was more like a very short 3-paragraph one, rather than a true college level "essay." I'm wondering if TESU would make accommodations for you?
Davar & Coopersmith both have English Comp I & II - I'm not certain how those work, but I think they might make accommodations - they might allow for an outside proctor for you as well - you can talk to them directly.
TEL has both courses, and they have RA partners to bring the courses in from. I don't think you have to do long proctored exams, although you can look at the syllabus.
Attempting to find an operational DSST testing center is a frustrating experience. The locator on their website contains very outdated information. Many of the entries have shut down or relocated. It also doesn't tag centers that are closed to outside students like the CLEP locator does.
Start with the colleges closest to you and check their website. Most have a page for their testing center which lists the exams they proctor. If DSST is not listed you can send the testing center a quick email and ask. In my area we have more testing centers open for DSST than CLEP which is weird. And they are mainly private colleges.
I can confirm that the DSST fulfills ENC-102 at TESU. My daughter currently has it on her academic evaluation.
