Writing Placement??

<p>Hi again. </p>

<p>So does anyone know why some students have to take the writing placement test? </p>

<p>Is it because I did so bad on the SATs (lol... that's what I'm assuming)? But then again, I did really good on the wriitng portion of the ACTs... hmm... anyone know?</p>

<p>Oh, yeah... I just googled it...</p>

<p>Totally because I bombed the SATs. But I thought I got above a 620... (I got a 63). lol. I did get a 12 on the ACT essay though. Hmm... oh well. =)</p>

<p>So now you know... if you were wondering. lol.</p>

<p>What I can tell you is that the Dartmouth Writing department doesn't exempt students from Writing 5 if you take the ACT. I did reasonably well on the ACT reading and english sections... well enough on the reading so that if it was translated into the SAT score, I would have been exempted... but I was told by the Writing department that they don't exempt with the ACT.</p>

<p>I didn't take the SAT.</p>
