Placement Testing

What are placement tests?

Placement tests are for students who have already been admitted to Hawaii Pacific University, and they enable us to determine which courses you need in order to progress and succeed in your studies. They are not entrance exams, and test results do not affect admission.

Which Placement Test(s) Do I Need?

Depending on your declared major, you will need to take a writing test, a math test or both. The voucher that was sent to you was assigned for writing, math, or both depending on the major you selected when you applied. 

Placement Test Requirements by Major:  

Writing Placement Test: All Majors

Math Placement Test: Business Administration, Biochemistry, Biology, Biomedical Engineering, Biotechnology Engineering, Chemistry, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Science, Marine Biology, Mathematics, Oceanography

Residential Honors students are exempt from the English Writing placement assessment.

ACT and SAT Scores: 

Depending on ACT, SAT, or other test results, you may be exempt from placement testing. Please review our placement guide, and contact [email protected] if you believe you may be exempt.

Credential Assembly Service: How It Works

< Back to All Articles

It’s simple. If you’re applying to law school, then you’ll be required to register with the Credential Assembly Service (CAS). The CAS is managed by the same organization that administers the LSAT, the Law School Admission Council.

The CAS is actually designed to make your life easier. It combines your transcripts, test scores, and evaluations into a single report that it sends to law schools when you apply. Plus, CAS adjusts your grades to a universal scale so that law schools can evaluate their applicants on the same basis.

What does my CAS file include?

Your online CAS file will contain:

• A current CAS account
• LSAT score and writing sample
• Undergraduate transcripts
• Letters of recommendation (optional)
• Payment for all reports

How and when do I register?

The CAS recommends registering six weeks before you apply to law schools, but we think it can’t hurt to leave yourself a little more time than that. Aim to register in July by logging into the Law School Admission Council’s website or by filling out a paper form, which you can request online. Your subscription lasts for five years.

What happens after I register?

Next, contact your undergrad school in August to request that they send your transcript to the CAS. If you’d like to send letters of rec through CAS, too, (it’s an optional service), then download or send a hard copy of the Letter of Recommendation form to your recommenders. CAS will collect up to three letters. Your LSAT scores will automatically become a part of your report after you take them (you need at least one score on file before the CAS can start sending your reports). When you submit your application to a law school, the school will request your report from the CAS.

Is there anything else I need to know about CAS?

The fee to register for the CAS includes a report to one school. You’ll also need to pay for each additional report you send. Look into LSAC’s fee waiver program if you absolutely cannot cover the costs of taking the LSAT and CAS reports. The LSAC website has all the details about registering, paying for, and sending reports. Check the site often to make sure you’re staying on track.

You’re done! Now you can sit back and (ha!) relax.

To cook manti, you need a manti-kaskan, it is also a mantyshnitsa or …: red_cat — LiveJournal

To cook manti, you need a manti-kaskan, it is also a mantyshnitsa or a pressure cooker. It is a construction of two pans, the top without a bottom, four grates with holes and a protrusion in the center are inserted into it, on which the next grate rests, the lid is on top. Another variety is five pans inserted into each other, the lower one is large ordinary, the upper 4 are low and perforated. Top of the lid. By the way, that’s exactly what I have, I’ll take a picture later. I heard that someone manages to cook manti in a double boiler and even in a colander placed on an ordinary pan and covered with a lid, but I have not seen these people with my own eyes.

It’s easy. I take lamb (or beef), pulp with fat, about half a kilo, and chop into minced meat. How? With a fillet knife, cut off a thin long layer of meat, cut into thin strips along, unfold for convenience, cut (chopped) across. It turns out meat cubes with a face of a millimeter and a half or two, depending on how lazy you are. Onion, as much as was taken, finely cut. Greens (dill, parsley, cilantro, if there are lovers), again finely chop (cut). Mix everything, add salt, crushed black pepper (a lot). If the stuffing comes out dry, it makes sense to add a) a little chopped bacon or b) finely chopped zucchini, pumpkin.

Next is the dough. Flour, water, salt. You can curse me and annoy me, but I make a simple cool dough by eye and touch, without measuring the proportions. I just pour a little, a glass or two according to sensations, flour into a voluminous bowl (I’ll take a picture later), add a pinch of salt and cold water – well, half a glass, let’s say. I mix well and, continuing to knead, I begin to gradually add flour. Continuing to knead. Quiet until the dough becomes firm and elastic. Tight, you know? Not “like the belly of a sleeping cat” (this definition is suitable for yeast dough). denser. It makes sense to beat the dough on the table – pick it up and drop it back with force, only without fanaticism, ten times is enough.

Then flatten the dough into a thick “sausage”, cut off (tear off) proportionate pieces and roll out on a table lightly powdered with flour. Also wipe the rolling pin with flour. Roll out thinly, aiming for a square in shape. Cut the rolled out layer of dough with a knife into squares, I usually get 9 pieces from one layer, each with a side of 12-14 centimeters.

Continue sculpting. Minced meat in the center, connect the corners of the square in the center above the minced meat, pinch, and also pinch the edges of the dough brought together. It turns out such a plump “envelope”. Bring together the corners of the “envelope” in pairs, pinch. You get a boat. The process, if it is not clear described, I will then take a picture, is it necessary?

There you go. Now you put the finished manti on the grids of the upper pan (pots) greased with vegetable oil, and in the lower one you already have boiling water (salted, with a couple of allspice peas and herbs and spices to taste). Reduce the fire, stack all the pans (grids) on top of each other, top with a lid. Boil half an hour – 40 minutes. Serve, laying out on a larger dish, eat with your hands, with sour cream, sour cream with garlic and herbs, with tzatziki (why not), some people eat with vinegar.

Filling options: minced meat in half with white cabbage stewed in a saucepan (with cumin, in vegetable oil), vegetables – from cabbage and onions, and (or) zucchini, and (or) pumpkin (everything in a crowd, again, darken in a saucepan – well, like on pies, say), from potatoes, onions, herbs, garlic (boil potatoes, mash in mashed potatoes with an egg, add stewed finely chopped onions, chopped garlic and herbs, salt and pepper). If the filling is only vegetable, you can also add one egg to the dough.
