*English Composition with Essay*
For CCBC, students may take the English Composition with Essay CLEP subject examination and if receiving a score of 50+, the student will receive credit equivalent to ENGL 101. Students do not receive an instant score report. Tests need to be administered by a certain date in order to be read and graded and then the score will be mailed to the receiving institution, in this case, CCBC. Once the score is mailed, it may take 7-10 business days for CCBC to receive. See the CCBC CLEP link www.ccbcmd.edu/testing/essex/clrp.html for test by dates.
**Freshman College Composition with optional essay**
Students interested in taking the Freshman College Composition CLEP test for CCBC in order to receive credit for ENGL 102 will also need to complete the optional essay for the test. The optional essay, consisting of 2 handwritten essays needs to be ordered 7-10 days before a scheduled appointment. Testing candidates will need to provide a credit card number to Testing Center staff so the test can be ordered from the College Board. Testing candidates, when calling to arrange an appointment to take the Freshman College Composition test along with the optional essay, will need to be prepared to provide a credit card number in order for the test to be administered. It will take 7-10 business days for the optional essay to be received.
