Junior Composition Exemption Exam, anyone taken?

[Crygrrpfoot]

I know that OU offers a Junior composition exemption exam to test out of having to take a junior composition course for your program. Has anyone taken this exam? Anyone tried it and has passed or failed? I am just trying to get some insight. I am a strong writer and do very well when it comes to papers. Was wondering if I took it what to expect. Difficulty, the experience, topics, likelihood of success?

I didn't do the test. Instead I am in an easy and pretty enjoyable class at Miami University to complete the junior composition requirement.

Late to the party, but I took the exam a few years ago. It was offered several times per year while I attended, but you may only take it once. From what I remember, you choose one of two writing prompts and have a set amount of time--I think it was two hours.

I can't remember my topic exactly, but I believe an argument between two people was presented to me, and I had to side with one of them and give rationale. I'm not sure about the likelihood of success, but if you're a person who likes to go back an edit your papers, this may not be ideal for you. I am a very strong writer, strong vocab, good organization, correct punctuation, et cetera, but I definitely like my time to go back and edit. I'm used to typing papers out (easier to edit, in my opinion.) I did not pass the exam. I believe they notify you by email, and no scoring details are provided. I found it challenging. It is worth mentioning that it was at 0800 on a Saturday, I was very hungover, and definitely did not give it my all. That being said, I was also on a full ride scholarship to OU for perfect reading comp, writing, and English scores from my ACT. I'm sure it's passable, or they wouldn't be offering it... I would say to take it more seriously than I did, if you still are considering sitting for it; Junior Comp was an awful class to have to take my last year!
