Language Placement Tests

Hi, I am an incoming business school freshman, which means that I am working towards a BS degree without the foreign language requirement. However, I might want to do a dialogue/study abroad in a Spanish-speaking country and would have to take Spanish classes. Can I just take the language placement test online even though it technically isn’t required for me to do it for the upcoming semester?

My daughter (back in 2012) did the language placement test but never ended up taking any language classes. Don’t see how it could do any harm.
