Guided Self Placement Survey

Your answers should reflect your real experiences. There are no right or wrong responses, and nothing you share will affect your admission to WSCC.
 
This survey is here to help you choose courses that fit your skills, experiences, and goals—not to judge or limit you. Guided Self-Placement (GSP) asks you to think about your own reading, writing, and math habits so you can select classes where you’ll feel confident and supported.
To support your success, WSCC offers small-group labs for English and math. These labs give you extra time, guidance, and feedback so assignments feel less stressful and more manageable. This survey will help you decide whether those labs fit your academic pathway and comfort level.
 
Completing this survey is required if you plan to take:

• ENG 111 – Composition I
• MTH 121 – Intermediate Algebra
• MTH 123 – Introduction to Statistics
• MTH 125 – Quantitative Reasoning

Many students juggle school with work, family, and other responsibilities. How many hours per week would you have available to commit to academic obligations (attending class, homework, studying, group projects, etc.)?

Hours available to spend:

Have you written research-based essays that require you to find, use, and cite sources in academic formats like MLA or APA?

How familiar are you with evaluating the credibility of different sources?

Word processors like Google Docs, Microsoft Word, and Apple’s Pages now come with sophisticated editing tools. How confident are you in your understanding of English grammar and sentence structure and the use of such editing tools?

How comfortable are you with reading college-level texts, such as the one below:

How confident will you be in summarizing, analyzing, and responding to texts like the one above?

When did you last participate in a math course?
