<p>Hi. I just wanted to know that if I am not taking the placement tests for cal states because I can be exempt from them because of my SAT scores, how can I show the university this. Do I submit my scores to the scholl or whill them just ask me for it when I register?</p>
<p>From what I understand, they need a baseline to add or delete courses based on some levels of the students. California doesn’t have a lot of money, so they need to use it wisely. It also helps you with placement decisions in math and English classes.</p>
<p>But I am exempt from the placement test. How do I send them my proof?</p>
<p>They should have your SAT score, right? Did you score above 680 on the writing section?</p>
<p>No, the minimum needed is 500.</p>
<p>Sorry, I was confusing the UC writing score with the 500 required on the reading section for CSUs. The school will have your official SAT scores already from your application, correct? If so, this is the proof you need. </p>
<p>So when orientation comes and it is time to register for classes, I should be fine?</p>
<p>If you had your SAT scores sent to the school, and if the CR score is 500 or greater, you should be fine. You may even be able to access your score via the student portal. But they will have it on file, and this is all the proof needed. </p>
<p>The UCs would say in your portal that you are exempt, both my son’s portals say this. If your portal at the CSU does NOT say this, I would call to make sure there isn’t some glitch. Better to know now. At minimum you can get the records confusion cleared up in advance. For example, if you wanted to enroll in a class where the writing class is a prerequisite, the computer system might not let you and you might miss the opportunity by the time you get it cleared up, if you wait.</p>
<p>My son will be attending SDSU this fall and in his portal there is a green check mark next to the ELP and ELM placement tests which indicate that he is exempt and has fulfilled the requirement based on his ACT scores. @honeybeezz you should have something similar as long as the university has received your SAT scores. </p>
