  3. Early Assessment Program- EAPEssay Prompt –45 minutes timed writing Please Read with the Class: The Early Assessment Program (EAP) is administered on behalf of the California Department of Education and the California State University System to help students determine their readiness for college-level work. Students can earn an EXEMPTION from the CSU English and mathematics placement tests upon admission to CSU (San Diego State, Long Beach State, Cal State San Marcos, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Fresno State, San Francisco State, Cal State Dominguez Hills, etc. – all 23 campuses). This “placement” essay is also used by all the California Community College, such as Mesa, Miramar, San Diego City, Grossmont, Southwestern, etc. Frequently, students who are admitted to a CSU campus struggle with these placement exams and end up taking a level of English or math that does not earn them college credit, in order to meet a proficiency level required by the university. This is simply an early opportunity to avoid the placement tests for admission to CSU and Community Colleges! Also, if you are planning to take Expository Reading and Writing 1,2 next year as your senior English, you must complete this essay exam. To participate in EAP for exemption for English, students must respond to the additional 15 questions at the end of the ELA CST in April AND complete the following 45 minute essay prompt. Today you will be completing the essay. Each student has a pre-bar-coded response booklet and an essay prompt (3 different versions of the prompt are possible). All Madison students will be ready to apply to four year colleges upon graduation, so the entire Class of 2014 will take the essay portion of the test today.
