Placement Test: English

PDF icon English Course Sequence

All students must take the English Placement Test unless they have completed English 1A with a "C" grade (proof required), or have a qualifying College Board Advanced Placement Test score or have completed Associate of Arts, or higher degree in the USA. Students whose strongest language is not English should take the ESL test instead. If both an English writing and reading class are assigned, the student will receive maximum benefit by taking both during the same quarter.

For English 1A, a student must have a qualifying score on the De Anza English Placement Test. All other students are advised to complete one or a combination of the assigned remedial courses, depending on their placement scores. For English 1B, 1C, or 2, students who have completed prerequisites at other colleges must provide the Assessment Office transcript proof of successful completion ("C" grade or better) of the prerequisite course before enrollment. Students who have taken placement tests or completed prerequisite courses at Foothill must also contact Assessment Office before registration. Test may be taken twice per Essays and clearances, MAQ's - needs training
