The WST is the “Writing Skills Test,” a university requirement. A passing score on the WST is required before a student can register for any SJSU Studies course, including Business 100W and Philosophy 186. Additionally, a passing score on the WST is a prerequisite to upper-division Accounting classes. Students should take the WST as soon as they reach junior status. Junior-level transfer students are encouraged to take the WST before matriculating. English 1B is a prerequisite to taking the WST. Students who fail the WST may take it again. If a student fails the WST a second time, he or she will be required to take a developmental writing course, LLD 098 or 099, Applied Grammar, or Grammar for Writers, depending on test scores.
