<p>So i passed the AP Exam and was excused from the writing placement test, and I assume this gets me out of one semester of English right?<br>
When a student from UCLA called about orientation, I asked her about the English requirements for a Poly Sci major (as she was one as well.) She told me that it would be advisable to go to a community college and take one more semester of English (since I also took one semester as a summer course earlier on) so I can finish off my writing requirements, or something like that. </p>
<p>Now the question is, should I do that? I'm afraid that if I do, my writing skills would not be up to par. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>"So i passed the AP Exam and was excused from the writing placement test, and I assume this gets me out of one semester of English right? "</p>
<p>Whether or not you are excused from a quarter of English depends on your AP score. If you scored a 3, you must still take English 3 Comp. If your scored a 4 or 5, then you receive credit for English 3 Comp but you'd still need to take a writing class to fulfill the Writing II requirement.</p>
<p>is english 3 comp considered a writing I course? if i got atleast a 680 on my SAT I, would i be exempt from it? is there any way to be exempt from Writing II or is that a course you hav to take?</p>
<p>Yes, English Comp 3 is a writing I course. In fact, its the only writing I course. The only ways to complete the writing I requirement are: </p>
<p>1.) Score of 4 or 5 on the College Board Advanced Placement Tests in English
2.) Score of 720 or better on the SAT II Subject Test in Writing and superior performance on the English Composition 3 Proficiency Examination
3.) Take English Comp 3</p>
<p>And as far as I know, the only way to complete the writing II requirement is by taking one of the writing II courses listed here:</p>

<p>im confused between the writing I requirement and the english proficiency exam that people had to take. i didnt have to take the test so does that mean im exempt from writing I? on the site it says that if u get a 680 or higher on SAT I writing, you don't have to take the proficiency exam that people took in may.</p>
<p>So I got a 4 on my Engl Lang Comp test- that means that I'm excused from writing I right?</p>
<p>As for writing II, I'm pretty sure that the highest level community college English course would fulfill that. However, is that a smart thing to do? Like I said, I don't think my writing skills would be up to par.</p>
<p>I passed out of Eng Comp 3 like 5 times over, and I took a writing II class (comp lit) spring quarter of freshman year... I thought I was a pretty good writer but I ended up getting a B+. It really depends upon your TA and prof... I know people who have gotten easy As in writing II classes. As for community college, my guess is that if you can take writing II classes there they wouldn't be harder than here... if you passed out of Eng Comp 3 that means that you'll do fine in a writing II class wherever you take it. And if you have to take it at UCLA take English 4 over a comp lit class, they seem less-involved.</p>
<p>wait, so the people who were excused from taking the writing exam in may for freshmen, they are also excused from writing I, right?</p>
<p>No! The AWPE (exam) was for the Entry Level Writing Requirement.</p>
<p>Like ckings says, those are the ONLY ways you can satisfy Writing I without taking a course.</p>
<p>And a Writing II course does not necessarily have to be an English course. It can be any subject as long as the course is writing intensive.</p>
<p>so what is the entry level writing? is that a course that is below writing I?</p>
<p>when do/did people take the eng comp 3 proficiency exam? i've never heard about that.</p>
<p>entry level writing is a course called engcomp2. but very few people take it b/c they either tested out of it thru AP/SAT/ACT, or they passed the awp writing exam. </p>
<p>there is no engcomp3/writing I exam. look at ckings post and that tells you how you can meet the requirement beforehand. otherwise, you have to take the class engcomp 3.</p>
<p>is english comp 3 the only writing I course? is it extremely popular? will the class be filled by session 103?</p>
<p>Again, refer to ckings's post:</p>
<p>"Yes, English Comp 3 is a writing I course. In fact, its the only writing I course."</p>
<p>I wouldn't consider it popular as people apparently don't really want to take it. But yeah, it'll fill up quick because lots of people will need it. And no, it probably won't fill up by session 103. If anything you can always take it winter quarter.</p>
<p>collegegirlgirl, as another obsessive hardcore information gatherer, i sympathize with your worries, but it's going to be okay. i doubt it will be filled up by sessoin 103 - if you check the fall registrar from 2005, you will see there were around 55-60 sections of engcomp3, each with 20 people. that means there are well over 1000 spots for that class, and almost all who take it are freshmen.</p>
<p>Is it just me or are lady english teachers the horniest old ladies you've ever met. I loved my english teacher, but she talked about sex all the time and showed us the shakespeare movies with nudity</p>
