<p>I know the difference between the two classes, but how are your placed into the classes?</p>
<p>is writing 37 what you are placed into if you don't pass the uc analytical writing exam? (or am i wrong?)</p>
<p>Writing 37 is an intensive writing class that allows you to continue to 39C right after. You are placed in it if you are close to passing the writing exam. You are placed in 39A if you are a bit off from passing the writing exam, which allows you to continue to 39B and then 39C. 39B and 39C satisfies the lower div writing requirement. Being in 39A basically means an extra quarter of writing.</p>
