<p>@HelloAll: did u get the email?</p>

9

<p>Yeh I did, which prolly means I'll have to take the exam.</p>

10

<p>@HA: that's weird 'cuz they said we dont hv to take it if we got "a grade of C or higher in an acceptable college course in English composition."</p>

11

<p>I'm guessing it didn't meet their requirement. I emailed them, hopefully I'll get a clearer explanation.</p>

12

<p>what if you can't show on this day?</p>

<p>I can't believe it's during AP testing. How could they?</p>

13

<p>Its on a saturday, haha. I think its worth it if you get to ditch English 1A from the UCs.</p>

14

<p>What if you got the email and it was blank?</p>

15

<p>mine was blank too o :/</p>

16

<p>My email was also blank :(. I'm using gmail, what are you guys using?</p>

17

<p>Mines was blank too, I'm using gmail. I had to use the older version to make the text appear.</p>

18

<p>Mine was blank when I viewed the message with Firefox. When I loaded Gmail in IE, the message loaded fine. Weird.</p>

19

<p>I got an A in AP English both terms and I still got this email. Anyway I can get out of the test? I'm taking the AP English test in May too, but obviously the results wont be back in time.</p>

20

<p>I'm in the same spot as you: 670 on writing.</p>

<p>What is the test? An essay and short critical reading?</p>
