We offer placement tests in Spanish, French and German. We also offer an exam in Russian by special arrangement.

If you are continuing in the language you took in high school, you MUST take the placement test. The test will assess your language skills and will allow you to be placed in the appropriate level.

For the best assessment of your level, please do not consult any dictionary or use any other assistance in taking the test. Any supporting materials would only distort the diagnosis of your placement.

The test requires approximately 10 to 25 minutes. The number of questions is not fixed: in order to determine your ability, the exam will ask as many (or few) questions as necessary.

As soon as the exam is completed, you will see your results and they will be immediately transmitted to the Modern Languages Department. Print your results and keep a copy to show to your advisor.

If you never took a high school course in the language you intend to study at the university, then you do not have to take the placement test.

If you have any questions, please contact the Administrative Assistant of the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures, Ms Cathy Burke, via email cburke@stetson.edu or phone (386) 822 7260.

The placement test is offered anytime between 1 and 2pm Monday to Friday during the semester. If you are not available during this time, email Cathy Burke in order to schedule an appointment.
