<p>I remember a while back seeing on Carolina's website that if you had a 690 or above on SAT writing you would be exempt from English 101 and 102. Can anyone comment on that. Also do you get credit for those classes? Just wondering.</p>
<p>Here's what the page under admissions says; for some reason, I can't seem to copy the link up here, but I've copied and pasted what it says about English placement. If you look under admissions in the UNC website, you should be able to access all of it, including math placement, etc. </p>

<p>Yep, if you got at least a 690 on the writing section of your SAT you're exempt from English 101 & 102.</p>
<p>According the Eng Dep't link, you do get credit for the exempted classes.</p>
<p>Thanks so even though they dont look at the writing section for admissions decisions atleast it's worth something. I really do not like English class anyway so that's exciting. Oh, what if my SAT writing dropped the second time will they still look at the highest? 1st-710 2nd-650</p>
<p>Don't worry; they look at your highest score. I was excited about that too- especially since I probably didn't do so well on the AP Exams I took this year! Hahaha: )</p>
<p>You are exempt form ENGL 101 and 102 and you get 6 hours credit! Good Job! I was super excited too!</p>
<p>that's definitely an incentive to go to Carolina, gotta love it!</p>
<p>My D got a 660 on her SATII Lit. This means she's placed in Eng 102, according to the chart above... Does anyone know if this means she'll get 3 credits for Eng 101?</p>
<p>I guess I'm the only one that thinks this is stupid haha.. I got an 800 on my CR, 5 on my AP language test, but a 670 on my Writing.. dang itt</p>
<p>RioMom, the SAT II they have posted is the one they used to do in Writing not Literature... Before the SAT Reasoning Test adopted the Writing section, there was a Writing SAT II that was used to place people at UNC. However, they got rid of the that Subject Test once the Writing section was added to the SAT I. Her Literature score on the SAT II will not count for Introductory english credit. What did she get on the Writing section of the SAT I? This may still place her out of something. Hope this helps!</p>
<p>I got a 670 on the writing....ugh only 20 points away.</p>
<p>but theres still a chance I can do really good on the placement exam in august and get placed out of 102</p>
<p>hah i'm taking that exam too! :)</p>
<p>To answer Riomom's question, my understanding is if you are exempted from 101 and placed in 102, you do get 3 hours credit. If exempted from both, 6 hours credit. If you qualify for 190 credit, that's a total of 9 hours credit.</p>
<p>I'm placed into 102 but I get credit for 190 from the AP lit test. That still doesn't exempt me from 102 right?</p>
<p>ready- you're right.</p>
<p>How about IB English HL with a score of 6? Any credits?</p>
<p>If you Google UNC Admissions, and get into that site, then do a UNC search for placement/credit, I think you can find the right page for all this information. For IB English HL, a score of 5 or above will give you 3 credit hours for English 190.</p>
<p>here's a link to all the AP/IB credits that UNC accepts:</p>
<p>you can see that a score of 5 or above on IB english HL gives credit for english 190, same as a 5 on AP english lit. that fulfills one of the perspective requirements, so it's a good credit to have.</p>
<p>Is English 190 part of the General College requirement? Meaning that if exempted from English 101 and 102, majoring in Chemistry, does it benefit you to take the AP Literature exam?</p>
