When I took the English Comp w/ Essay test, the software made me agree not to tell anyone about the content of the exam, including the essay question.
But I will say that the topic was pretty random, and, in my opinion, absurd. However, I just did the best I could, acted like I knew exactly what I was writing about, and scored pretty high on it.
My advice would be to get the Princeton Review's Cracking the CLEP and some other study materials and practice on their essay topics just as if you were taking the actual test. Since you have no control over the content you will be asked to write about, the key is to practice writing about nearly anything.
Really, though, no good writer can write an excellent essay in 90 minutes with no preparation and/or source materials. It is a very unnatural way to write, but, at least, you get credit for it.
