If you would like to be placed into level II of your foreign language as a freshman, you will need to take the placement test. It takes about one hour. The exam for Spanish and French is given on the computer, so you do not need to bring pencils. The placement test will be given on Tuesday, April 24 at 7:00 PM and Saturday, April 28 at 9:00 AM. If it is not possible for you to come at the scheduled times, please contact Mrs. Tan for more information.
