<p>Okay, so I am getting worried about the Analytical Writing Placement Test for several reasons. One, I can't find the admission ticket that UCSB sent me. I am still looking, but is there anywhere I can like print up another or something? Second, my friend who is going to UCSC had to pay like $80 or something to take it. Why do I not have to pay? Am I missing something? He said he went online and payed. Third, I am wondering how hard this thing actually is. Is it really easy, or is passing it the equivalent of getting a 680 or better on the SAT Writing section? Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>did you get four free applications when you applied to the UCs? if you did then there you go, you were considered low income so you didnt have to pay.</p>
<p>No, as a matter of fact, I didn't even get any financial aid... what is going on here? I am even more worried now.</p>
<p>I think it's more of a placement test than anything. It won't affect your admission (assuming you actually take it).</p>
<p>i passed the ap lang/comp test last year, and the website said that a passing score on an ap english test fulfilled the writing placement exam requirement. does that mean i don't do anything or do i have to contact them and tell them...?</p>
