<p>I got a letter in the mail last month about the English Placement Challenge. Apparently it's for incoming students to challenge their English course placement. It involves reading a few passages and writing an essay, I believe.</p>
<p>Can anyone who has done with before count on it? My ACT score places me out of both first and second year English. Is there a point in taking the challenge, or have I placed as high as I can?</p>
<p>I think that’s as much as you can place out of.</p>
<p>If I have not yet received the english placement letter and I am entering in fall should I call them and be concerned or are people still receiving them. My orientation is the second session.</p>
<p>Yeah, you’ve placed as high as you can. Depending on your major, you may not have to take anymore English or literature classes at LSU. </p>
<p>Julius, you can always call and ask. It can’t hurt. I don’t know if anyone here has direct knowledge of whether they are still sending the letters out still.</p>
<p>They are not still sending out letters. I guess mine got lost in the mail or was just never sent. Is this typical of LSU?</p>
<p>I never received a letter telling me where I placed (I figured that out on their own), but just something telling me how to challenge my placement.</p>
<p>I just read through the placement guidelines and found that my ACT automatically gave me credit for two years of English:
[Untitled</a> Document](<a href=“http://www.lsu.edu/uwp/assess/placement.htm]Untitled”>http://www.lsu.edu/uwp/assess/placement.htm)</p>
<p>I would just call and ask. The URL for the online placement challenge is <a href=“https://lsu.imoat.net/[/url]”>https://lsu.imoat.net/</a> . Your username and password is your LSU ID, but you need to change it to social security format. Instead of xx-xxx-xxxx, change the number to xxx-xx-xxxx.</p>
