<p>There was a lot of people there, but not all of them were HEOP students. There was some EOP, some Cstep, etc. I believe there’s around 150 of us.</p>
<p>wait. ALL HEOP students must take the math and english placement?</p>
<p>@lilmelonred YES!!! We took it at orientation</p>
<p>What’s the math and English placement? What questions were there?</p>
<p>Yeah what’s on the placement exam?</p>
<p>Well the writing was pretty much like how it is on the SAT and we had to choose between a poem or passage and respond to a question about it in essay form. And then the math was just a placement test to figure out what level calculus we should be placed in</p>
<p>Wait, we have to pick a poem and passage? we can’t use history or personal experiences?</p>
<p>@lilmelonred: No, you had to choose either the poem or the passage and write an essay (based on a prompt) on that.</p>
<p>Oh wait. they give you a poem and a passage right? Is the exam hard?</p>
<p>Yes, they give you a poem and a passage to choose from. The exam wasn’t hard though. Before the essay part of the exam, we had to find errors in sentences and add changes to an essay with grammatical errors. Nothing too bad, it was similar to the SAT writing section.</p>
<p>oh okay doesn’t sound too bad. Is it timed though?</p>
<p>@lilmelonred Yea it’s timed. For the writing you get an hour and 30 minutes and an hour for the math. </p>
<p>Didn’t you get into HEOP? Why didn’t you go?</p>
<p>lol oh i’m studying at Poly. Poly has a different orientation day but yeah we need to take both math and english placement so i might as well ask what I should expect. lol an hour and 30 minutes sounds good enough time.</p>
<p>I was thinking of starting a NYU HEOP/CSTEP Class of 2017 page on Facebook. Can it be opened up by anyone or does it have to be by someone currently attending NYU? I kinda wanna meet more people than I did at the orientation!</p>
<p>There is already a group for that… not class of 2017 but just HEOP/CSTEP in general. that way you meet other HEOP students</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m aware of that group! I just wanted to have an idea who will be with us in the summer program and perhaps meet them ahead of time!</p>
<p>oh yeah about the grammar part of the exam, is it like multiple choice?</p>
<p>Some of it is multiple choice. For the other parts, you had to underline grammar mistakes or write down your edits for the errors.</p>
<p>Did any of you take the ACT test?</p>
<p>Hey, so what Freshman Seminars are you guys taking?</p>
