I am most familiar with the California UC’s and Cal states. Both the UC’s and Cal states require 4 years of English taken 9-12th grades.
Ways to fulfill the UC/CSU English requirement:
SAT Examination
SAT Writing and Language score of 31 satisfies the first three years of the requirement.
SAT Writing and Language score of 36 satisfies the entire requirement.
ACT with Writing
English Language Arts (ELA) score of 24 satisfies the first three years of the requirement.
ELA score of 30 satisfies the entire requirement.
SAT Subject Examination
Literature: Score of 560 satisfies the first three years of the requirement.
AP or IB Examination
Score of 3, 4 or 5 on the AP English Language and Composition or English Literature and Composition Exam; score of 5, 6 or 7 on the IB HL English: Literature exam (formerly IB HL English A1)
College courses
For each year required through the 11th grade, a grade of C or better in a course of 3 or more semester (4 or more quarter) units in English composition, literature (American or English) or foreign literature in translation. Courses used to satisfy the fourth year and/or the entire requirement must be transferable. For lower-division transfer, all courses must be transferable. Literature courses must include substantial work in composition.
