I'm confused about credit for the CLEP English Comp exam at Excelsior. :confused: I'm aware the exam does not satisfy the writing requirement and I plan to take a 3 credit Excelsior exam which will meet the WER.
I have read a number of posts here reporting Excelsior doesn't award the full 6 credits for this CLEP exam and instead only approves of 3 credits. I'm wondering if this info is accurate. According to the Excelsior brochure, 6 credits are awarded for the CLEP English Comp exam after earning a score of 50 or better.
If you took and passed the CLEP English Comp exam and submitted your score to Excelsior, how many credits were you awarded?
On another note, given Excelsior doesn't allow this CLEP exam to meet the WER, why take the essay version? I understand the non-essay version has twice the questions however I'd rather get my score immediately than wait weeks with the essay version.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I'd be grateful for any insight and clarification.
