<p>I have a question about the prerequisites to writing 140.
here it says student must get a 560 or higher on the verbal portion of the sat:

but here it says student must get a combined score of 1100 or higher

<p>My verbal portion of the sat is lower than 560, but my combined score of reading and writing is higher than 1100. Can I take writing 140 w/o taking 120/121? and what’s the USC’s Writing Placement Examination?
Is there anyone who had the same problem with me before? Could any current students answer my questions? Thanks sooooooo much!!=]</p>
