<p>There is a placement exam for the [Entry</a> Level Writing Requirement](<a href=“http://writing.berkeley.edu/newsite/awpexam.htm]Entry”>http://writing.berkeley.edu/newsite/awpexam.htm), which must be fulfilled before or concurrently with R&C A (College Writing R1A fulfills both ELWR and R&C A).</p>
<p>If you have already fulfilled the ELWR (by SAT scores, 3 on AP English, etc.), but do not have any of the AP, IB, or A-level scores to fulfill the [url=<a href=“http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/requirement/rc.html]R&C[/url”>Reading & Composition | L&S Advising]R&C[/url</a>] requirement, then you can enroll in an R&C A course to begin fulfilling the [url=<a href=“http://ls-advise.berkeley.edu/requirement/rc.html]R&C[/url”>Reading & Composition | L&S Advising]R&C[/url</a>] requirement.</p>
<p>As far as other courses go, what major(s) are you considering? You either want to get started on courses required for the major(s), or courses which will fulfill breadth requirements that will not be fulfilled by the major(s).</p>
