foreign language placement tests

<p>I saw on myneu that there are placement tests for different languages. I took spanish in high school but i dont want to take it in college and i would rather take a different language. Do i still need to take the spanish test if i dont want to take spanish classes?</p>

<p>you don’t need to take it for spanish. You only take it for the language that you would like to be placed into.</p>

<p>thanks! and are there any other placement tests for other subjects that i would need to take?</p>

<p>I took the placement test and it placed me in a class for only juniors and seniors. Will I be able to take that class as a freshman or how will it work?</p>

<p>Where are you seeing the placement tests on myNEU?</p>

<p>I took spanish in HS and I want to continue so will I have to take the test?</p>

<p>@normalperson: What class did it put you in?
@Black.Ice.: Yeah you should (although I think it’s pretty much just for you to see where you should be. I don’t think anyone looked at my results).</p>

<p>I was super intimated when it told me that I belonged in Advanced Spanish, but I had just gotten a 5 on the AP test and the classes (both Advanced 1 and 2) were pretty easy for me. I’ve actually decided to double major with Spanish, and I’m in Spain right now :slight_smile: So let me know if you have any questions about Spanish! </p>

<p>There’s a link to the exam and the password on this webpage: [Modern</a> Languages: Languages Offered](<a href=“http://www.modernlanguages.neu.edu/Layer2/language.htm]Modern”>http://www.modernlanguages.neu.edu/Layer2/language.htm)</p>

<p>it placed me in intermediate spanish 2.</p>

<p>Yeah I agree with Blink that it’s mainly just for you. However I was placed into 501 (advanced 1) french, and I was too intimidated by it so I took 301. My prof asked us to take the test again and print out our results to show her, and when she found out I placed higher she talked to me a bit and convinced me that I’d be too bored in 301 (and she was right) so I switched out.</p>

<p>As a mech. engineering major, is a foreign language necessary?</p>

<p>awwschucks, eng students are not required to take a foreign language; the only required courses outside of their major requirements are usually a few core classes (eg history, social sciences) and a college writing class. You can look at the curriculum sheets that are available on the COE site to get a better idea of what courses you will need to take.</p>

<p>Thanks for the link. I was just getting ready to look for such a list, now that graduation hoopla is over. (All of the coe websites are all giving me problems tonight, perhaps due to problems on my end. I’ll try again tomorrow).</p>
