Creative Writing

The Creative Writing Talent entrance exam is a traditional paper based exam which includes 60 multiple choice questions worth one point each and one extended response essay worth 40 points. The multiple choice questions cover a variety of topics, including subject/verb agreement, punctuation, reading comprehension, sentence structure, vocabulary, the writing process, and literary elements. The extended response essay is based on a passage that students read during the exam (similar to the NYS ELA Exam). You will need to bring a few No. 2 (or HB) pencils. Any necessary scrap paper will be provided.
