Placement Test

Students’ levels in Arabic will be determined by the initial Student Preferences Survey sent after they register for a program as well as by the placement test which will be administered upon their arrival at the center.

The placement test evaluates students on three criteria: reading, listening and speaking.  The results of the placement test will determine the students’ level of language proficiency and will also serve as a benchmark for progress made throughout the duration of the students’ study of Arabic at the center.  For more information about the learning objectives for each level, please see our section on proficiency levels.
