Freshman College Composition

by Beth

Honestly, this test wasn't very hard. I took it last week (I am a high school senior) and I thought it was mostly common sense. If you just read the questions and articles, and have a solid understanding of the English language, you can pretty much make out which is the correct answer.

One thing I would suggest studying, however, is source citing. This is one thing I didn't study, and since I am used to using APA style for my college psychology courses, I believe the questions were based on MLA style.

Overall, I don't think any native English speaker should have a problem with this CLEP. I took it as my first CLEP and didn't have any trouble, even though the only studying I did was the practice tests on the links from this site. I got a 74, and I have only taken basic high school English classes, so most people shouldn't have any problem with this test.
