<p>so im taking this placement test tomorrow and im not sure what i should expect…or let’s say what if i dont make tomorrow to the testing site? or what if i dont place in the appropriate class. will i need to go through many courses just to catch up??</p>
<p>any info would be a great help. thanks!</p>
<p>I'm currently looking over the samples right now...
Analytical</a> Writing Placement Examination</p>
<p>I think if you don't meet the req, you'll be placed in a writing composition class to make sure you pass the university-wide writing assessment in your Junior year. Now I come to think of it, why does it sound so much like the "no child left behind" deal...</p>
<p>lol have fun with that one guys!</p>
<p>me enlisch noot so vary guud. sow vary sad tumarrow.
sumwon pleeze teke test four me? =(</p>
<p>I forgot to take the test. wow..</p>
<p>i'm gonna be wasting 3 units of my life in remedial english classes..how exciting..</p>
<p>did u take AP Language and composition last year? If you got a C or better in that class you can skip out on it.</p>
<p>Waittt?!?!? A C? Like in the class? I got a B =] HAHA..but I got a 2 on the AP Test =[</p>
<p>cfsaetern- if you end up needing to take the test for some reason, you can take it during welcome week when you move in in September.</p>
<p>yah i'm pretty sure your good. i read on website your exempt from taking it if you got a C or better</p>
<p>If you were to score a 6 on the placement essay, would you be able to skip another class of English?</p>
<p>How do I fulfill the Entry Level Writing Requirement before entering UC? By receiving a score of
• 30 or better on the ACT Combined English/Writing test; or
• 680 or better on the College Board SAT-II Writing Test; or
• 680 or better on the College Board SAT Reasoning Test, Writing section; or
• 3, 4 or 5 on either Advanced Placement (AP) Examination in English; or
• 5 or above on an International Baccalaureate High Level English A exam; or
• 6 or above on an International Baccalaureate Standard Level English A exam; or
• a grade of C or better in an acceptable college course in English composition; or
• a passing score on the Analytical Writing Placement Examination (AWPE)</p>
<p>just to clear up any confusion</p>
<p>Hmm..I wonder why they sent me a letter telling me to take the writing test?</p>
<p>I have already fulfilled the Entry Level Writing Requirement, but I still got a letter saying I have to take the exam.:</p>
<p>As the admissions process involves many steps, some applicants may receive exam notices even though they have cleared the Entry Level Writing Requirement, Simply disregard the exam invitation.</p>
<p>I don't think a AP English is considered a college course. I believe they are talking about a course from your local city/junior college. You are still able to take the test during O week (the week you move in) if you happened to miss the AWPE exam in May. You -cannot- retake the test, however.</p>
<p>Wait. I was told that AP English in high school didn't fulfill the Entry Level Writing Requirement. You needed to take a class in college to fulfill it.</p>
<p>A passing score in AP English (3 or better) fulfills the requirement. Unfortunately students who take the AP exam in their senior year won't know their AP scores until July. They end up taking the AWPE and paying the $65 for the exam only to find out later that their AP score would have excused them.</p>
<p>lol that's rediculous =[</p>
<p>It's a ridiculously clever way to make money.</p>
<p>^True, but not as ridiculously clever as Collegeboard's monopoly over standardized tests. =P</p>
<p>By the way, do we have an option between taking the chem placement exam or foreign language? Like do we have to take one or the other, but not both?</p>
<p>You don't have to take either if your major doesn't require you to. If you plan on taking Chem AND a foreign language, you can always take the language placement test after you move in to the dorms.</p>
