The Writing Placement
Exam requires students to write two essays that tackle the same kinds of
writing tasks students will encounter in the English 101 program courses.
Students have two full hours to write their essays, and the exam session
begins with fifteen minutes devoted to pre-writing. The exam provides a
passage written at a level of sophistication common in college courses
and requires students to write about it with college-level intellectual
strategies. The Writing Placement Exam is evaluated on how well students
comprehend a passage, focus, organize, support and proofread their writing. |
