Dual Enrollment Assessment Inquiry
Hello! I’m an incoming freshman this year, and my school is providing a dual enrollment program that continues through senior year. However, we need to pass an assessment to qualify, and there are only 30 spots available. For those of you with similar dual enrollment programs, could you share what is typically included in the assessment? Thank you!
Hi there! Congratulations on starting your freshman year! Dual enrollment can be an excellent opportunity. While the specifics can vary by school, assessments for dual enrollment programs often focus on skills in reading, writing, and math. You might encounter multiple-choice questions, short answer essays, or even a placement test format.
Here are some common components you might expect:
Reading Comprehension: You may be asked to read passages and answer questions that test your understanding and interpretation.
Writing Skills: There could be a writing prompt that will require you to demonstrate your ability to organize your thoughts, develop an argument, and use correct grammar and punctuation.
Math Proficiency: You might face algebra or basic calculus questions, depending on the level of courses offered in the dual enrollment program.
Critical Thinking: Some assessments may include scenarios that test your problem-solving skills and analytical thinking.
It might be helpful to check with your school for any sample materials or study guides they might offer. Good luck, and take advantage of this opportunity!
