I think if your community college accepts the CLEP English Composition with essay and will award you 6 credits...I would definitely take that instead of Straighterline.
I don't think the English Composition will be difficult for someone who is "well-versed" in the subject matter. I thought I could at least pass this exam and ended up scoring a 49 and I needed a 50 to receive credit. A year + later I found out from CollegeBoard that I actually scored a 50...they said it was a "scoring error."
Bottom line...check with your cc to see what score they require first and whether they accept it at all.
Let us know what you decide.
Hope this was helpful.
