WPE in Cal State Long Beach

[BurmaCharm]

Hello everybody! Could somebody who passed WPE exam share the information about the exam. Is it hard to pass? What should I expect? Thank you!

its a piece of cake. I wrote a manifesto about how much I hated that we had to take it and equated it to Nazism (satirically of course) for mine and passed. if you are ESL or had difficulty with grammar and punctuation and spelling just brush up on that to prepare. it just gives you a stupid prompt to write about

I took mine at Cal State Northridge about four years ago. If I recall correctly, we had to choose one of three questions to answer, and I chose to write about a book or movie which had influenced me. I thought for a couple of minutes, in order to plan my points to make (introduction with theme, two or three illustrative paragraphs, and concluding paragraph) and then started writing. I passed the exam. Something tells me that if you've had the requisite English courses, you'll also pass!

Good luck!:heartbeat
