Placement Process
The placement process we use in the guides students to the best course for college-level writing success. We use a multiple measures approach to ensure you are in the best writing class for your needs.
Multiple measures assessment means that we place you according to the highest of your scores from these categories:
- Your high school GPA as reflected in your admissions record
- Standardized test scores
- 糖心原创 writing placement assessment
If you do not have a high school GPA or test scores, you should take the placement assessment.
If you feel your high school record or standardized test scores do not reflect your writing ability, you are encouraged to take the writing assessment.
