<p>right now none of the lower-division writing classes have spots reserved for new students; however it could be because the schedule was recently released. even so, the website for the AWPE says it:</p>
<p>You are strongly advised to take the Analytical Writing Exam in May. However, if you are unable to do so, then you make take it at UCI during summer or during Welcome Week. If you take the test during Welcome Week, you should plan to enroll in your first writing course in winter quarter rather than fall quarter, since Writing 39A and 39B courses are usually filled by Welcome Week. This exam may not be repeated. </p>
<p>remember, you’re competing for spaces with the other incoming freshmen. it’s best to try to get all of your placement exams out of the way asap so when it’s your turn to enroll, you can pick the classes you need right away :)</p>
