Question English Requirement

Hello everyone,
I need to fufill Excelsior's english requirement and am totally confused about which exam would be best for me.
I am not a native english speaker and so i would like to opt for the easiest one of the 3: TECEP,ECE English Comp with Essay,ECE College Writing.
For the TECEP the biggest problem for me is that it is pass/fail.I have recd some enginnering credits(38.50) recently and because of those my GPA has fallen to 2.6 i have B's and C's in almost all those exams...
I do think i could do well on the College Writing exam because it has 3 essays and nothing else but i am worried about the topics.I heard one person had a topic on global warming and if was in his place i would'nt know what to writeMy general knowledge is not bad and i can write an average essay(i think)....but only on topics that i know a lot about
The ECE English Comp exam- I ahve heard a lot of negatives about this one..that it's too lengthy,challenging,etc...
I think i will do alright in the multiple choice section of this one and then there is just one essay with options.Also i believe the multiple choice questions could save me (i can get some right and guess on others)if i write a bad essay.
I need to take a decision soon because i need to register in order to take the exam in Jan.Please help me
