Hi!
\nI took the french placement test prior to my first year cause I thought I was going to continue my french immersion studies. I\u2019m now in 3rd year and am interested in taking my first french course. I know you\u2019re usually supposed to take the test prior to the course. Am I allowed to take the placement test again? I tried contacting the french.secretary email last month but no response.
\nThanks!<\/p>\n

hey friend,<\/span><\/p>\n

my apologies this answer was so long coming– i\u2019d never encountered this situation before and have little-to-no prior knowledge about placement tests. luckily, the lovely <\/span>french department <\/span><\/a>came through.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

according to them, a placement test is valid for two! whole! years.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

to clarify, that should mean if you took it before first year and you\u2019re now headed into your third, you won\u2019t need to take it again. that is, if you\u2019re planning to enrol in that french course for the upcoming school year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

however, if you choose not to tackle that french course now and end up wanting to do it later (your fourth or fifth year), you will need to retake the placement test. it\u2019s not as simple as just signing up for and taking the test, though: you\u2019ll need to obtain permission to retake it first. <\/span><\/p>\n

you\u2019ll likely need to contact the <\/span>french undergraduate counsellor<\/span><\/a> in order to do this. just let them know your placement test expired, or whatever the correct term for it is.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

i suspect that if the french secretary still hasn\u2019t answered your email as of now, they may only be the person to contact to schedule placement tests, not to answer questions about them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

anyway, hope this helped!<\/p>\n

be Boundless,<\/p>\n
