ABOUT THE TEST

The exams are scheduled eight times a year on dates announced each semester in the Chanin Center website and on Department bulletin boards. The test is approximately one hour long. It consists of numerous short answer questions on computer and also a writing sample (please bring paper and pen). The exam is not given by appointment. You are welcome to walk in within the 2 hour time, but allow yourself enough time to finish before the time at which the exam ends. (The exam is administered on a first-come first-serve basis. Please be prepared to wait if all the computer stations are in use when you arrive.) Please note that the exams are FREE of CHARGE. French and Spanish exams may be taken more than once. Test results are valid for two years. Full exemptions from the Foreign Language requirement are reported to the Registrar and recorded on student transcripts.
