<p>OK so I just took an online placement test for Spanish and tested into Spanish-103. I think I'm completely screwed because I had a slight amount of help on the test (:D) and seriously do not think I can get an A in this class unless it's really easy.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any idea how hard the language courses are? Or if you tested into a higher level, how good would you say you are at the language. I feel like I probably would have tested into the level 2 course if I just did it 100% with no help.</p>

<p>David, the language classes are not very hard! Don’t worry :slight_smile: I think the placement tests are made especially difficult so that you are not placed in an upperlevel class unless you are truly ready for it. The 101-103 classes are not to be scared of AT ALL! I placed into French 103 my freshman year, and had no problems tackling the material. So don’t worry about it at all!</p>

<p>Was anyone else annoyed when they learned they needed to complete a language through the third level to fulfill the requirement? My academic requirements online tell me I only need one course, but surprise! I actually need two semesters of a language…apparently I didn’t look close enough. Does this vary according to major?</p>
