<p>The purpose of the exam is, just like u said, to place u into a correct level english course at UCR once the fall term (or whatever term u r going to) starts. As for the community college course, i was in the same situation as u, i took an english course called english 100 at my local community college, so i thought i was exempt from the exam, but later found out that the english class i took does not count towards the credit so i have to take the exam this saturday. I STRONGLY advise u to check out this website [Welcome</a> to ASSIST](<a href=“Welcome to ASSIST”>Welcome to ASSIST) to see if ur course counts or not, if not you will have to take the test as well</p>
