Frequently asked questions
How would I know if I have failed the EWET?
Students who failed the EWET will receive an email from Office of Student Administration(OSA) in week two, informing them that they have been enrolled into the FEP. The email will also include their weekly class timing and lesson venue. Your FEP teacher will also follow up with an email to you. The first FEP class will begin in week three.
What happens if I fail the EWET?
You are not expected to withdraw from SUTD if you fail the EWET. If you fail the EWET, you are required to complete the following:
- Freshmore English Program (term 1)
- Freshmore Communication Program (term 3). FCP is a Pass/Fail module and you will need to pass both in order to graduate from SUTD.
How should I prepare for the EWET?
There is no preparation or studying required. You just have to be present virtually to access the test, read the question carefully and give a logical and coherent written response. Please be reminded that you should write in proper, grammatical sentences and choose a tone which is appropriate.
You are, however, encouraged to read this short book:
William Strunk, Jr. & E. B. White, Elements of Style, 4th Ed. (Allyn & Bacon, 2000).
Are we able to type our answers in our own laptop, given that it is conducted online?
The student should type out their essays on their laptops or PCs since the essays must be submitted online.
Since the test is online, how is the essay submission done?
The student will receive a Word document with the question. Since the essay must be submitted online (through a link provided on eDimension), the student should type out their answers on Word and save it either in .doc, .docx, or .pdf.
