Language Placement Tests

<p>What do they entail? And are there any differences between the ones offered during orientation to the ones you have to schedule? I took Japanese 1 at my school last year, and it wasn't very intensive, and I know I would place at the intro level. So, if we've had experience with a language, do we HAVE to take the placement test for it? Or is that just an option?</p>

<p>And while we're on the topic of languages at the university, does anyone know anything about the Russian and Japanese language programs?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
