I am looking to take the analyzing and interpreting literature CLEP. This would finish my english core that I would need and would not longer need to take an english class which I am glad for because I don't feel like I am great at english. Like the title asks do you think that I am ready to take the test. I have been averaging high 60s in practice tests and just got a 72. I am not looking to do great my school will take a 50. I have never really been all that great at english I am more of a straightforward Math and Science person. I have been reading old passages from early modern english and trying to get tone words and old usage words down. I have heard that this is a test that you don't really study for except for those kinds of things that I am trying to learn and get practice in. I feel like at times I lose track of what is going on with the archaic language and also get lost when tone changes and I don't really know when things are figurative vs being serious. If anyone has any advice for the test that would also be greatly appreciated. Another note I also am not a person who really reads literature like that. I can read documents or research papers in other fields but those reading skills don't really seem to transfer as well into this.

Hi, I will be transferring to Baruch next year. I would like to know if anyone has been in my situation. I took the Spanish CLEP test and I will have it awarded in my degree at another CUNY school. I was thinking of getting my Spanish requirement out of the way by taking another class during the spring. But, I know that Baruch states that any CLEP, DSST, or proficiency exam doesn't satisfy this requirement, but at the same time they are required to treat any class that has been awarded and evaluated at another CUNY school as if the class had been taken in person per the CUNY academic policy in credit for prior learning. That is where I am stuck because they do state that they take transfers from other schools and I did not find anything that states that the classes must be taken in Baruch like the capstone COPT has to.

I can't find the answer anywhere, unlike how the calculus test says that it is broken up into two sections. Is the College composition modular broken up into sections that you can't return to? I want to know because as I am practicing I don't do too bad when I have enough time, but I start to really drop down in points when I have to rush through things. I was hoping to be able to do the test normally at the start and then halfway through go through the grammar questions fully, do the citation questions, and the revision questions. On the practice test that I took from the CLEP study guide it looks like it breaks it into three sections but I can't find if they are sections that you can move in and out of. I would really appreciate the feedback since that would help me relax I am not really a english kind of person I can do ok but like I said I am slow; it mostly comes from my slow reading pace and the fact that I don't really like english and the way it has so many subjective (or at least they appear to be subjective to me compared to math and physics) questions that have me looking back and forth. The second question would be if anyone has any tips and tricks or any advice that they can give me for passing this exam I would really appreciate it thanks.

I don't know if this is really the place to put this in or if someone else has already answered this. But here it goes, I want to do something in finance since I have lived in new york my whole life. I have always loved math and physics and so I thought that naturally I might get into engineering but later looking into it I realized that most of the cooler tech jobs are in boston or California. I have visited these cities and states and I don't ever really see myself moving out of New York or to any other city for that matter. That's when I came across quants and how they work I thought that it was interesting I do realize how hard it is to get in, but I do like the level of breadth that they have through the levels of rigour that come from Math, coding and the finance I think that is what always interested me about engineering the how you use math and physics to understand the world around you I think that quant sounds a lot this but with a more financial twist to it. I would really like to do something in finance in NYC to try and actually be livable and techinical where if I were to try and do EE or mechatronics there would not be much work for me here and if I did end up finding something it's not work that is too interesting and ok pay, which makes sense we are know for our finance industry not engineering or tech apart from fintech. But again I have traveled a lot around the world and realized that I don't ever envision myself leaving at least until I am 50 or can't handle the faster pace city life. With all that said this where my question really comes in If I train hard and study make my college course geared towards quant but I don't make it what is the possible backups that I have, I definitely don't want to be a math teacher or something like, again I know I am good at math always have been but I am not exceptional like a math level olympiad. The point of me going in this direction is to have a mathematical and technical understanding which I always enjoyed so if there is some back up that still has a feel like this I am completly fine with it. Thanks to anyone that takes their time to respond =).
