Abstract
The present study tested the validity of the College-Level Examination Program's General Examination in English Composition (CLEP). With essay and objective tests as the criteria of writing performance, groups of Utah State University students that had completed Freshman English (FE Group) were compared with groups of Utah State University students who had been excused from FE based on their CLEP scores (CLEP Group). Advanced Placement students also participated in the study. From the data, inferences were made that (1) the CLEP had been accurately applied at Utah State University, and (2) the CLEP can validly be used to excuse Utah State University students from FE.Keywords
