The Writing Proficiency
I have not taken the Writing Proficiency test but I am signed up to take it in March. I have heard that it takes multiple times to pass the test. I think that if the majority of the population fails and has to take the test multiple times then whoever writes the test makes it too hard!

It doesn't. It is the silliest test and it doesn't in any way measure your skills as a writer. Just have an intro and conclusion, and state your opinion!. Oh have a clear thesis as well, and don't forget to un-underline it! But I still passed.
I am taking that stupid test in March also. I really hope I don't have to take it again, I am not a good writer at all!
I believe if you passed ENEX 101 that should be your test.
The test is not difficult. Sometimes the article is uninteresting or hard to read but you just have to spend some time with it. What is hard is knowing what is expected of you. THis is what is expected: include your opinion. if you don't you won't pass, also clear thesis, points you will talk about in your intro paragraph and clear conclusion that summarized your points again.
i agree with jenny. if you enjoy writing at all, or at least are fairly competent, the test is pretty straightforward. you definitely need a strong opening statement/thesis and a convincing conclusion that supports it. any wishy-washy stance will result in failure. they are definitely interested in strong, well-stated convictions. at least that was my experience.
