<p>I have a quick question regarding placement for incoming freshman for English. On the main website <a href="http://www.admissions.unc.edu/academics/placement.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.admissions.unc.edu/academics/placement.htm&lt;/a> , it says 690 and above on the writing will be accepted as exempt, but on another website <a href="http://admissions.unc.edu/faq/placementexams.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://admissions.unc.edu/faq/placementexams.htm&lt;/a> it says 680 and above for test occurring after March 2005. Could you please clarify which is correct?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Unless I'm reading incorrectly, it looks like on both links, a 690 (and above) makes you exempt from both English 101 and 102--receiving credit for both. A 680 (660-680) makes you exempt from English 101 (receiving credit for), but would place you into English 102. That's how I'm reading both links. Did I miss something?</p>

<p>If you look at the charts, the first link says </p>

<p>690 and above-Exempt, credit for English 101 and 102 </p>

<p>The second link says</p>

<p>690 and above-Exempt, credit for English 101 and 102 </p>

<p>Maybe I am just reading it wrong....</p>

<p>Right. They both say the same thing, so what is your question? 690 and above places you out of English 101 and 102 (credit for both). 660-680 places you out of 101, but places you into 102. Both links seem to say the same thing, no?</p>

<p>Oops, i meant to say 680 on the second one. But I emailed the admission office and they said they just havent updated it yet. </p>

<p>Thanks for the help anyways though.</p>

<p>Okay, well, we must be looking at 2 different things anyway, because in the links you provided, it looks like they give the same information. Anyway . . .</p>
