<p>I'm a prospective student at UCLA and I'm from out of state.
And on UCLA webpage it says students must take the writing exam on may 9th in california.
do OOS students also take the exam on the same date? </p>
<p>it also says that students are exempted from taking the test if they have C or better grade in a transferable college-level course in English composition. </p>
<p>So is AP Lit/Composition in HS considered as a college-level course in English composition?</p>
<p>I'd appreciate for your responses</p>
<p>If you don’t satisfy the following before enrolling for classes then you have to take the AWPE examination. If you don’t know if you will fulfill one of the following before the AWPE test date, then take the AWPE anyway to ensure that you do fulfill the writing requirement.
“30 or better on the ACT Combined English/Writing test; or
680 or better on the College Board SAT-II Writing Test; or
680 or better on the College Board SAT Reasoning Test, Writing section; or
3, 4 or 5 on either Advanced Placement (AP) Examination in English; or
5 or above on an International Baccalaureate High Level English A exam
6 or above on an International Baccalaureate Standard Level English A exam”</p>
<p>AWPE centers are only located in California, therefore if you’re unable to travel to UCLA on the May 9 test date you can do the following:</p>
<p>“If you have not met the Entry Level Writing Requirement with one of the criteria previously listed, you can take the AWPE for out-of-state residents only during a First-Year Orientation session. This exam is being offered as part of a special arrangement by UCLA Writing Programs, and will be held during session 102, Tuesday, July 15, 2008 from 8:00 - 10:00 am. There is a $65 fee for taking the exam; at the exam you can pay by check or credit card. Only students who live outside of California and who sign up in advance when reserving an Orientation session will be allowed to take this test. When you come to the testing room, please be sure to bring a valid photo ID and your UCLA student ID number with you.”</p>
<p>So for you, you will take it at the orientation session (which means you really need to go to one, and sign up for the 102 session).</p>
<p>As noted above, if you get a 3,4, or 5 on your AP Lit/Comp test then you will fulfill the Subject A (writing) requirement and will not need to take the AWPE.</p>
<p>So getting an A in AP LIT won’t get you away from taking the exam? caz it says on UCLA website.</p>
<p>No. Just getting A in an AP class does not fulfill the writing requirement. You have to pass the AP EXAM of English Lit with a 3,4, or 5 score.</p>
<p>AP classes are not college-level transferable courses. Yes, you can get college credit for them if you pass the AP test, and they are supposed to be taught at a college-level…but they don’t qualify as a college-level class and are certainly not transferable. Had you taken an English class at your local community college (and got a C or better), then that would count as a college-level transferable class and would fulfill the writing requirement.</p>
<p>You would have had to register for the writing exam by sending in a ticket thing that you got in the email. That wouldve taken a while to get to them to process it, so it may be too late…or just barely cutting it if you mail it tomorrow - id call em up. </p>
<p>otherwise, you can just take the exam later if you dont test out of it with your AP course. Im in IB and I could test out of it with my English test next week, but for precautionary reasons Ill do the writing test anyway.</p>
