Freshman Comp is all multiple-choice, you don't need to do the essay. At Excelsior this does NOT meet the Written Requirement, neither CLEP exams do. Not sure what degree you're going for you may want to make sure this can be applied. The Written English requirement at Excelsior is ECE English Composition and it's 6 credits. For the Business degree only 6 credits from English can be applied. I took ECE College Writing for 3 credits to meet the Written Requirment, and got 3 credits for Freshman Comp as an elective before they got rid of College Writing.
65% of Freshman Composition is reading several paragraphs and then answering questions about it, like how does paragraph 1 relate to paragraph 3. What's the author trying to say in paragraph 2. I'm not sure there's really a way to study for that. The other part of the exam is correcting sentences and combining sentences (however, for instance, and, but...) it was pretty obvious.
It was not a hard exam, just time consuming because of all the reading/analyzing. You have 90 minutes, took me 70 minutes, but I'm a slow reader.
