Placement exam

This foreign language placement assessment is designed to ensure that university students who want to pursue language studies, are registered for the correct foreign language course. As part of the World Language Showcase day, you will be able to take this test to find out in which foreign language university course you will be placed. The exams are web-based, computerized multiple-choice questions, and take 30-60 minutes to complete. Your results will be issued immediately. You do not need to study for this exam — it is a placement test to determine your current language proficiency. The placement exam can be taken in Spanish, French, and German.

Note: Students interested in taking the placement exam are now required to create a TrueNorth user account.
