July 1, 2010, the College Board launched the CLEP College Modular test and retired two popular exams, CLEP Freshman College Composition and CLEP English Composition. The new exam will overlaps with the old tests a little but will largely include new material that hasn’t been included on any of the previous composition CLEPs.

College Composition Modular contain 90 questions that students need to answer within the 90 minute time frame allowed for the exam. This section of the CLEP is followed by a 70 minute section in which students are required to write two essays.

These essays are scored by the college or university the student is attending, according to the College Board website. This differs from the old English Composition CLEP which enabled students to write an essay that was scored by a group of professors contracted by the College Board.

However, the College Composition Modular parallels the Freshman Composition CLEP in regard to the essay graded by the institution the student submits their scores to. If you’re studying for CLEP Freshman College Composition exam, make sure you switch to prepping for the College Composition Modular exam instead.

SpeedyPrep is the first online CLEP preparation website to offer a College Composition Modular study course. And we stand behind our course since it comes with our 100% Pass Rate Guarantee.

If there’s one thing that makes exams scary for most people, it would definitely be uncertainty. This can be over the actual content of the exam, or even over how that content is presented in the CLEP.

SpeedyPrep customers don’t have to worry about the content on the exam. The CLEP courses that SpeedyPrep offers have been specifically designed to match the content on the actual test. And with an over 99% pass rate, apparently we did a pretty good job.

However, there can still be some uncertainty about the actual testing experience. This post is meant to help dispel that by explaining the actual testing process.

The CLEP exams are now computer-based tests, so you can expect to take the test on a computer rather than with a pencil and paper. With the exception of the E nglish CLEP exams that require an essay, your tests will be multiple choice. You will be given 90 minutes to complete anywhere between 90 and 120 questions.

It’s common for college students to retake a course they’ve failed or had to withdraw from. College courses are so long these days, it’s easy for life to creep into the 16 weeks it takes to get those three credits.

However, college students can save themselves a lot of time by taking CLEP tests that correspond to the courses they didn’t complete.

If there isn’t a CLEP test your college will accept in place of the course, you should ask your college advisor about tests that count for college credit that are offered through your college or university.

These tests cost almost as much as a course but don’t take nearly as long to study for.

After discussing your CLEP options with your college advisor, check out SpeedyPrep’s CLEP prep courses. We guarantee you’ll pass so you can graduate fast!

Many college students considering CLEP exams are scared off because they’re afraid of what it will do to their GPA and college transcript. This makes sense because AP exams are reported to a student’s university regardless of whether it was a passing or a failing score.

However, reporting CLEP test scores isn’t like that. When you fill out your CLEP score transcript to get your scores sent to your college, you can choose which ones you want sent and which ones you don’t want to report.

Additionally, most colleges don’t report a failing CLEP test score. They seem to treat them like a class you’ve withdrawn from. It just doesn’t show up on your transcript.

CLEP test scores don’t typically count toward your GPA so if you fail one, it shouldn’t affect your overall average anyway.
