Testing Out of Texas Government?

Colleges & Universities The University of Texas at Austin
1

<p>I’m going to be attending UT in the fall as an EE major. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m an OOS student, but I have to take a Texas Government class that I can test out of at orientation.</p>

<p>Is anyone familiar with this test? I would like to know roughly how long it is, what type of material I need to learn, etc. Most importantly however, are there any books that are designed to help with studying for this test, or at least contain all of the material that I need to study?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>We all have to take it(In state too, im EE as well, 2nd year now), I didn’t even bother, mostly because I was working before orientation, and didn’t have any time.</p>

<p>foxshox, you can take it any time, doesn’t have to be orientation. My son will be a sophomore next year and he is taking it this summer.</p>

<p>Haha, well I found out after wards I got a 2 on the Government AP test, since I didn’t study for it, so at this point it doesn’t really matter.</p>

<p>Smart choice, then it can be an “easy c.” HCC is the way to go for classes that you don’t want affecting your UT GPA.</p>

<p>Yeah Im doing San jac, probably second semester this summer.</p>

<p>My son is taking calc 2 second session, but at HCC. He took one of the econs last summer. Even though it’s a drag, it’s only for 5 weeks, and anything can be stood for 5 weeks!!!</p>

<p>Gook luck next year, you’ll love UT!! Hook Em’</p>
