Directed Self-Placement (DSP) is not a test. It includes reading two brief articles, writing a brief essay in response, and then taking a survey in which, you answer a short series of questions about your reading and writing habits. The survey will recommend which First Year Composition (FYC) course might best suit your needs, but you make the final course selection.
