Instructions for the Italian Placement Test

Instructions for the French and Spanish Tests
The online placement test in French and Spanish will take approximately 25 minutes to complete. We will receive a copy of your results so you do not need to send them to us. Once you finish taking the test, your final score will be displayed on the screen for you to print out, or you may cut and paste the text of the final score to insert in an e-mail message which you then send to yourself for your records. In addition, your academic advisor can also access your final language placement test score.
Note: As of January 2005, your final language placement test score will not be sent to you by e-mail.
