Did anyone get an e-mail about having to take certain placement exams as a transfer for your major?
It just seems like such a hassle because I’ve already taken placement exams as a freshman and it just seems so pointless to take more… especially when you live 5 hours away from San Diego and all the placement exams are done on campus. Just wondering if anyone had something like this!
You have to take the WPA to see how many upper division writing classes you have to take to meet the GWAR. If you score a 10, you satisfy the requirement, an 8 needs one class, and a 6 or below requires 2 upper division writing classes. That’s the only test I had to take. It’s a two hour written exam, where you analyze a persuasive article. You can take it any of the test dates your first transfer semester. I think if you don’t do well the first time, you can take it again within the first semester.
