I am taking Ethics in America tomorrow morning and was wondering if anyone knew what colleges you have to take the essay part of the exam? I don't want to opt not to take it or have the test center tell me I do not have to take it and wined up realizing later that I was supposed to.
Hi 50,
You definitely DON'T need the essay portion at Excelsior. They don't require the essay portion on ANY of the DANTES/CLEP exams.
Also, the essays are not graded by DANTES. Instead, they are sent to the school you are actually enrolled in, and graded by the school's own faculty. Since you don't have a school picked out yet, it would obviously be impossible for this to happen. So that hopefully answers your question with absolute certainty.
Just complete all the multiple choice and yes/no questions. Ignore the essay questions completely.
Do well tomorrow 50!
Good luck,
Snazzlefrag
My name is Rob
