Principles of Advanced English Composition DANTES Study Guide

Principles of Advanced English Composition DSST

The Principles of Advanced English Composition DANTES study guide covers everything that you would learn in a lower level English composition class. This covers all the basics in the creation of any composition. You'll learn and need to identify different types of writing such as narrative, informative, argumentative, persuasive and think critically about how those styles best fit the unique situation. You'll learn how to successfully create and defend logical arguments in your writing while providing sources and learning how to note that source material correctly. This is a great test to take, overlapping with the College Composition CLEP as well as the College Composition Modular CLEP test. If you have the ability to benefit from these three separate and distinct tests, we recommend that you take them all to get the most bang for your buck in college credit.

Testimonials for the Principles of Advanced English Composition DANTES Study Guide

Hello, I used your materials to pass the following tests. I found them very helpful and especially like the flash cards. It was nice to have one study guide to use rather than a listing of expensive books to choose from.

1. Intro to Business
2. Intro to Computing
3. Drug and Alcohol Abuse
4. Human Resource Management

Thank you, Janell K.

I just wanted to add to the testimonies on the web site. I took DANTES "Health and Human Development" test on July 20th, and I passed it with a score of 445 (needed 400). I had the study materials for only a week and a half, and they were very concisely written and to the point. They are well done, and I learned a lot in such a short amount of time, so I could pass the test. I would not have been able to start graduate school without it, because I had deficit undergrad credits that I needed to satisfy; this test and your study materials fit the bill nicely! -Jen M.
