<p>Do you really take this at the Summer Orientation?</p>

<p>“3 p.m. Academic Success Workshops or Writing Composition Placement Test”</p>

<p>Not all students take the Writing Composition Placement Test:

[Welcome</a> to the USC Orientation Programs Website](<a href=“http://sait.usc.edu/orientation/testing/writing.shtml]Welcome”>http://sait.usc.edu/orientation/testing/writing.shtml)</p>

<p>So for those required to take it, yes, it would be taken at orientation.</p>

<p>Thanks, alamemom!</p>

<p>Looks like I’m in the clear then.</p>

<p>there are math and foreign language placement tests, though :)</p>

<p>Being an engineer has its perks. We don’t have to take the foreign language or writing placement test, just the VERY easy math placement test. :P</p>

<p>And the math and FL tests are to be taken online BEFORE orientation - it is part of your “Orientation Homework.”</p>

<p>Woo I’ve heard engineers really don’t need writing at all except for GEs. Is that true?</p>

<p>What if I pass the Calc BC AP test with a 5? Still need to take the placement test? I read that exempts you from 2 math classes. (Calc 1 and 2?)</p>

<p>It says if you plan to take a Math class you have to take the placement test [url=<a href=“http://sait.usc.edu/orientation/testing/math.shtml]Welcome”>http://sait.usc.edu/orientation/testing/math.shtml]Welcome</a> to the USC Orientation Programs Website<a href=“Follow%20the%20link%20and%20alllll%20will%20be%20answered…”>/url</a></p>
