There are two versions of the CLEP English Composition exam. Some colleges grant credit only for the version with essay; others grant credit for the all-multiple-choice version; still others accept either version for credit. A number of schools supplement the all-multiple-choice version with a writing assignment that they administer and score themselves. Many colleges grant six semester hours (or the equivalent) of credit toward satisfying a liberal arts or distribution requirement in English; others grant six credit hours of course credit for a specific first-year composition or English course that emphasizes expository writing.
