What do placement test scores mean?
Your score on the placement test will indicate one of five levels: L1, L2, L3, L4, or L5. This score tells you (a) in which level of course to enroll and (b) what you will need to do to fulfill the Foreign Language Requirement. To find information sheets specific to each possible placement test score, take a look at our Foreign Language Requirement page. In addition, your placement test results may suggest a particular track of study, such as special courses for heritage learners or intensive language courses. (Even if your placement test results don’t provide such suggestions, you can still choose to enroll in such courses. Talk to the instructor if you have questions.
