Understanding your Guided Self-Placement Results:
The English Guided Self-Placement will give you insight into what type of reading and writing assignments you can expect in our English courses at SRJC. Through self-reflect and completing sample reading and writing assignments, you will be able to decide which English courses may be appropriate for your level of experience.
Upon completing this activity, you will be allowed to enroll in English 1A, English 1A paired with English 50 support course, or EMLS 10. If you need help deciding which English class is right for you, please meet with a counselor.
English as Second Language classes may be a good choice for you if English is not your first language and you still want to improve your reading, writing, grammar, speaking, and listening skills in the English language.
