English comp with Essay (I'm about to take it)

Basket Weaver Wrote:Great Advice-as usual,
I too have to take a similar test and have been searching the forum on guidelines. I took/passed the 6-credit English CLEP but Excelsior does not accept it for the English portion of the degree. In fact, they only gave me three credits for it. So now I'm forced to take their College Writing Exam (410). I'm left to assume this is "about" the same format as the test you described above? Info would be great, taking the test and giving me the credit would be better.....Big Grin Lee

Haaa!

It is standard procedure for Excelsior to only allow 3 of the 6 credits for this exam.

There have been some excellent recent posts on the ECE College Writing exam. Have a quick look back in the list of threads, or do a search, and you should be able to find some invaluable feedback.

There IS an alternative to taking the ECE exams. It is more expensive ($420), but it fulfills the Excelsior WER and it is pass/fail (useful if you need to protect your GPA).

The exam is "English Composition I", it is part of the Thomas Edison State College Examination Program (TECEP). You can find details about this, and all TECEP exams here:

Other than the cost, another downside is that you have to find your own proctor according to their guidelines (librarian, college proctor, school teacher etc.).

Just thought I would add this option into the mix for you.

Good luck,
