The English 250 Test-Out exam is intended to test the communication skills that you already possess, specifically in rhetorical analysis, argument, and designing and orally presenting a visual argument using presentation software. This exam has two parts. In the first part you'll do a rhetorical analysis of an essay (we'll give you the essay at the test-out), and you'll write an argumentative essay of your own. In the second part, you'll prepare a two-minute oral presentation supported by a single electronically designed visual (slide, graph, poster, etc.).
