what happens if i didnt take the EPT

[l2ob05]

Hey guys, i just found this forum amidst my panick. does anyone know details about the EPT? i found out today that incoming freshman are supposed to take the EPT test by may. I'm exempt from the ELM, but I am not exempt from the EPT and i did not sign up for the test, so i am really scared, cuz on the website it says "If you fail to meet the May 7, 2005 testing deadline, you will no longer be eligible to enroll for fall 2005." so can anyone tell me what i can do? Am i screwed and can't go to cal poly this fall? thanks in advance.

have u taken any AP english tests? if u passed those...they might exempt u from EPT and get college credit...(lol maybe you already know that) anyways, EPT was a disaster!! it was even WORSE than AP english LANG and LIT...omg...how could that be? they didn't give us enough time and the questions and passages were stupid. it'd be funny if i passed the AP tests and not the EPT (or get a really low score)

Thread moved to the Network forum.
What did the department tell you?

Yes, do as what everyone has said - call the department, and if you took the AP Lit. test, be sure to have those scores sent (CEEB code is 4082 for CPP). The worst case that can happen is either a hold being placed on your enrollment or the school forcing you to take remedial English.

Heyhey, at least you don't have to worry about the UC's Subject A exam..... from what I hear, the EPT is a piece of cake compared to that.

I always hear two sides on this test though; one of my friends who went to CPP over the weekend to take it thought it was a cinch. Perhaps a horrible testing proctor can be to blame in your case? I dunno exactly. Anyhoo hopefully you had good luck with the AP Lit. test..... I'm still trying to recover after the AP Physics test today..... apparently my teacher forgot to tell us that we don't get the equation sheet for the multiple choice problems.

awww...ohh yea...equation sheet...we have that for our class too...i didn't take the ap physics though. but wow...that's a lot of equations to be memorized...i took the calculus ab one and i basically memorized 70% of the equations...anyways, yes, i had a horrible proctor, he was so cocky and strict. when time was up, he practically yelled at us to stop. i was shocked everytime he stopped us...argg. i really hope that i'd pass either ap language/ap lit, either one i'd be happy...
