<p>What you said Marz makes a lot of sense. I mean, they cannot require that you take a placement test and not tell you about it. They also cannot assign one date to take the exam and expect you to make it. High school seniors are busy, and UCSC knows that. </p>
<p>I am assuming if students do not take the test on this date, UCSC will probably allow students to take the writing placement exam during orientation.</p>
<p>i'm a little worried about the Placement Exam cuz writing essays has never been my strong point. I took SAT twice, and both time i got 8 on the essay. So, do you think i can pass it?</p>
<p>ya Trumpet, it says on their Summer Orientation website that you'll be taking Placement Exams at the summer orientation if needed. and at the Spring Spotlight, the person working there also said you'll be taking the placement exam at UCSC if you either failed the test or didn't take it, but the test at UCSC will be harder than AWPE.</p>
<p>An 8 is not a bad score... comes out to a 600 or something. Like I said, the placement exam is much easier than the SAT writing. Easier topic, more time, less pressure. You will do fine, just don't worry about it.</p>
<p>I accepted in about a month ago at the end of March and I got my letter April 14.
Im not worried at all about taking the test, I did pretty well on my SAT writing...I wish my mom hadnt just paid for it though! I would just take it this summer at orientation!
ughhh its 65 bucks too...thats a bit pricey</p>
<p>thanks for the comfort trumpet =]</p>
<p>*** the price is 65 but why the hell did it charge me 75...and then when i go to my ballance on the website...it says -10 dollars</p>
<p>thats weird. at least they gave it back though.</p>
<p>I'm doing this for UCSB...
its a uc-wide thing
Paying after May 1 is $75 rather than $65</p>
<p>How long should the essay be? (Page wise...by handwriting not by typing... since I don't have word count in my pen)</p>
<p>mine was 2.5 pages</p>
<p>i filled up all the space i was given and it took me an hour...</p>
<p>so i left</p>
<p>*** that **** was EASSYYYY</p>
<p>oops. that "test" was easy.</p>
