COMPASS e-write anyone?

S.N. Visit, BSN, RN · Feb 17, 2004

I took the compass test that included the e-write section, last summer. The choice that I had to write about was: "Write a letter to your School board, explaining if you are for, or why you are against all year around schooling and explain why." I can't remember the second choice, it was another explain your view type of question though. It was very simple. The test evaluates your basic grammar , spelling and punctuation ect. Don't stress about it at all. I've never heard of any one failing it. Good luck!

Dear Corrie,

I too missed out of the lottery last Thursday. Blessedly, I am admitted to Clark in March and have a good chance at OHSU and Linfield. Anyhow, about the e-write, there are no practice exam that I know of. Most people pass it. I do know of one gal who did not but it only costs $5 to retake it at CCC and there is no cap. The hardest thing about CCC in their NET exam. The English portion is difficult.

Best of luck to you!

PS. Did you hear that there is the same number applying to OHSU and Mt Hood said they had about 1000 applicants. Yipe!

Congratulatins on Clark! Sadly, as a single mom, my grades haven't been as stellar as they could have so my chances at Linfield and OHSU are slim...but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Also trying for Clark but missed the first deadline so that app will be mailed this week-after two Walters midterms and my NET and compass. ugh. Going back to retail management is almost sounding tempting right about now but I'm not that insane yet.

Good luck with Linfield and OHSU!!

Hi Corrie,

Just a quick question. What is the Compass e-write, I've never heard of it? Thanks, SusanNC

It's a test some schools require for entrance. You go in, they give you a subject to write an essay on, then you get 45 minutes to write. It's graded on computer right then and there.

HTH!
