<p>Heres the information on the website
Submit a score or grade that meets the writing requirement. </p>

<p>Meet the writing requirement by submitting to the Admissions Office a minimum score/ grade of: </p>

<p>30 or better on ACT Combined English/ Writing Exam</p>

<p>680 on the SAT II Writing Exam</p>

<p>3 on an AP test in English</p>

<p>5 on the International Baccalaureate Higher Level English A exam</p>

<p>6 on the International Baccalaureate Standard Level English A exam</p>

<p>C in a UC transferable (four- quarter or three-semester unit) English composition class</p>

<p>I have a question on the ACT
It says one must get a 30 or better in the combined English/Writing Exam.
What does this mean? I got a 21 for English and a 20 for the Writing combined makes 41 does this make me qualified. Can anyone validify this.</p>

2

<p>no, the 41 is not your composite english/writing score. on your act score report it will give you a number for your composite english/writing and i think that has to be 30 or higher to fulfill the requirement. or you can just take the placement exam.</p>

<p>damn I got 640 for SAT.</p>

4

<p>For the SAT II Writing Exam is this the Literature test they're talking about</p>

5

<p>Sweet! Got a 5 on the AP test!! :D</p>

6

<p>I haven't done any of these things : P</p>

<p>How difficult is the Analytical Writing exam?</p>

7

<p>"For the SAT II Writing Exam is this the Literature test they're talking about"</p>

<p>If it is, I'm going to be so mad. I got a 670. :/</p>

8

<p>it's equivalent to SAT Reasoning Writing Section.</p>

9

<p>C in a UC transferable (four- quarter or three-semester unit) English composition class</p>

<p>if i got a B in my AP LIT class at school does that count?</p>

10

<p>I dont think an AP class counts. It says that it must be UC transferable and I believe AP classes arent UC transferable. Pass the AP exam with a 3 and that should be good.</p>

11

<p>omg, i got 660.</p>

12

<p>What about the math and other tests? I think someone said you can find out if you need to take the exams from your admit page? Where does it tell you? And if you do need to take them, then when do you need to take them by? Thanks!</p>

13

<p>kind of OT, but still relating to reqs:</p>

<p>for the american institutions req, do the UCs just mean that if u took a US history course in HS, then you've fulfilled the req? like it doesn't have to be APUSH right?</p>

14

<p>For the AP test, since there's two types of AP test for English, does it matter which one we take? Lit or language?</p>

15

<p>vickkyx: doesnt matter</p>

16

<p>^ can sum1 clarify the american institutions req?</p>

17

<p>its a 2 hour essay you have to write. oh my, im dreading this test.</p>

18

<p>I think the american institutions is government, which if you went to high school in california, you don't have to worry about.</p>

19

<p>i got a 670 on sat II lit, but a 4 on ap eng lang exam...am i exempt fromt aking the entry level writing test?</p>
