What is a placement test, and how do I take one?
A Placement Test is only for students who have the intention to TAKE a language course but do not have a recent University of Michigan course grade or an acceptable one. The test results will only serve to “Place IN,” not in any case to “PLACE OUT.” In other words, the results will only be an internal reference for placement purposes WITHIN the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures. We’re not obligated to send them to anybody or any unit outside our department. Dates and locations will posted on the Placement & Proficiency Test section of the ALC website as soon as they are known. Generally, alternative testing dates are not possible.
