Do not compose your answers in the placement exam screen. Write your answers in a word-processing program, saving your work as you go, and then then copy and paste your final responses into the essay windows on the placement exam screen. Please save a final copy of your responses for yourself to ensure your work is not lost, in the event that there are any technical issues with your submission.
Any text you enter in the exam field will be lost if you log out, refresh the page, or refresh your remaining time.
Please note that the placement exam platform will not format footnotes; any citations should be in MLA parenthetical citation format (including author’s last name and page number from the source in the parentheses.) For more information about this citation format, please see the Harvard Guide to Using Sources.
Please also note that italics and underlining will be lost when you paste your text into the placement exam platform.
