Attention, Seniors Applying to Cal States!
Now that you have applied to the CSU's by the November 30 deadline, and probably have filled out your EOP applications, the next step is taking your EPT (English Placement Test) and ELM (Entry Level Math) tests. The only way that you are exempt from taking these tests is if you took the EAP test last year when you took your CST test and scored high enough to be deemed ready for college level classes, OR if you scored a 550 or higher on either the Critical Reading or Math section of the SAT reasoning test (NOT a combined score!), OR if you got a 3 or higher on the AP English Language exam or the AP Calculus Exam, OR took a college level English or math class and got a C or higher. Otherwise you HAVE to take the EPT/ELM test by the deadline of the campus to which you are applying (for CSULA it's Jan 30; for CSUN it's March 14). You can take the exam at a campus that is convenient to your home and have your scores sent to other campuses. I have a link to the CSULA and CSUN registration pages on the links section of my website. The sooner you take these tests, the better. You can go to www.csumentor.edu or the testing link on each Cal State website to find sample test questions in order to prepare you to do well on these tests. If you have any questions, contact the campus testing office or ask Ms. Campbell.
