Hmm...Do you know a lot about that last one? Where's it at exactly? And does it count as a university or anything, or is it a you pay just for the experience?
It sounds really interesting, from what I read...

I don't think you have to pay I think you have to pass there test and if you are good enough they'll take you into there school. Heres the homepage you should chech the whole site out then if you are ready take the test.

I took an aptitude test for The Institute Of Children's Literature and I got accepted. I enrolled myself in the school (yes, you have to pay) but I had to withdraw for personal reasons. I checked out the site for the school you have posted a link to and it looks very similar to The Institute Of Children's Literature. More than likely you will have to pay if you get accepted but it's worth it in my opinion.

Well, the thing is...I kind of want to just take the aptitude test to see if I'm good enough, but I don't want to actually attend the school. Is there any obligations?

I doubt anyone ever fails the aptitude test. All they want to do is sell you a place on their course. Long Ridge Writers Group is, as far as I know, quite reputable, but don't be kidded that this test is anything more than a way of getting your contact details into their database, and enrolling you on the course.

Oh, well in that case I won't bother. I don't plan on attending, but I wanted to see if I could pass the test. If it's just a ploy, then I guess there's no point.
Thank you Mike!

You can take the test and not enroll. When I first took the test I wasn't thinking about enrolling. Sure, they might try to get you to enroll if you pass the test but eventually they will stop. I don't think it is such a big deal.

Judging by that, Envy, I don't think you can get a good idea of how adept you are at writing. |

I actually go to Gametalk since the year 2000. It's a good forum, actually was what got me interested in writing if you'd believe me. I wrote in Fanfics on there, and soon into writing. I'm Dr. Kingland on there.
