<p>anyone who takes the placement exam, tell us how it goes, easy < — > hard?</p>
<p>Oh HELL NO we have to take placement?!?!
I guess I’ll be studying up this week…I am NOT TAKING MATH AGAIN (or the fourth semester. Sick)</p>
<p>Solomonm- Are you serious?! =(
Are guys sure this isn’t some type of formality?</p>
<p>so i just posted this in the admitted students thread, but for those who don’t check over there…
i just went through the placement test steps and for math here is the thing: if you are a major where math is REQUIRED or pretty much used a lot (this includes SPPD, etc) you will be taking the online placement test. otherwise, skip it and it will credit on your STARS that you took math either in HS or in college. it gives a list of what majors will need to take the math placement test.</p>
<p>for foreign language, it told me this:
“The online Foreign Language Test is only available to incoming freshman students attending an Orientation session. Students transferring to USC are not eligible to take the online Foreign Language Test. Students requesting materials (not attending an Orientation session) must contact the USC Testing Bureau for paper and pencil test dates and policies.”
(for those who don’t remember, i was admitted for a French major, so for this to tell me this is v. important to the rest of you.)</p>
<p>DO NOT FREAK OUT (unless you’re having to take math placement, and if you’ve already taken math, call them to make sure.)</p>
<p>SEE YOU ALL IN THREE WEEKS. :D</p>
