What is a proficiency test, and how do I take one?
If a student intends to “place out” so that he or she does not have to take any language course on this campus (or at another University), he or she should take a proficiency test. Once a student successfully passes the proficiency test, we notify the relevant unit of the result with a suggestion whether a certain requirement can be waived. There may be a fee to take a proficiency test. Proficiency tests are offered at least twice a year by the Chinese, Japanese, and the Korean language programs. 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.
