<p>I looked everywhere on the site but couldn't find this. </p>
<p>If you want to take the SAT II in French to use as a placement exam, do you have to take the French with listening or can you just take the regular French? I'd rather just take the one without listening because I don't want the hassle of the tape recorder and all that.</p>
<p>it's a cd player by the way. just incase you're going to take it.</p>
<p>It's not much of a hassle. You just bring in a CD player and they give you the CD.</p>
<p>The real hassle is that the listening tests are only given in November.</p>
<p>Oooh I didn't know that they're only given in november! Ugh!</p>
<p>So then can I just take the regular test? Or can I not use the non-listening one for placement?</p>
<p>So does anyone know?</p>
<p>Okay, here's the thing: I don't think language placement really matters. I'm taking German now...also took it last semester. 200 then, 202 now. </p>
<p>I didn't take a language placement exam at the beginning of the year (too lazy, I think), instead using the SAT II (with listening, but again, I think it's irrelevant) for placement. My score was 700, which would actually put me into the 300 level, but as I knew it was a total fluke based on luck, I just went to 200 instead. Nobody ever questioned anything. </p>
<p>Now maybe that's just because German isn't all that popular, or maybe I just got lucky, but I'm pretty sure you can just enroll in whatever level language class you think you should be in; and then if it's obvious you don't fit, you can drop it and move to a different one. </p>
<p>Again though, talking only from my own experience, not actual knowledge about the system.</p>
