Placement Tests

<p>I just took the language placement test for Spanish and I pretty much bombed it. When I say bomb I mean I couldn't complete a little more than half the information. I don't mind having to be at a low level for Spanish, but do you think this will make the school worry about me in any other way?</p>

<p>no unless you said(or wrote) that you are amazing at Spanish.</p>

<p>They won’t worry at all. You just might be put at the lowest level class, which most people are anyway.
I’m going to take the Chinese placement test and I can’t even read the directions :D</p>

<p>i have a lville language question. i have taken 3 yrs of spanish and am guessing i will probs b in spanish 5 or 6. i also want to start chinese in either 10th or 11th grade, could i do them both at the same time?</p>

<p>Thanks, you guys made me feel so much better lol. And at @lolzbabe, I think I read somewhere that once u start a language, you pretty much have to stick with it</p>

<p>I “bombed” my French test. French 101 here I come haha! It’s fine as long as we did the best we could on our placement tests.</p>

<p>i meant finish one, but have another one on top of the first.</p>

<p>So for the language tests, do you have to write an essay or anything. i haven’t taken mine yet…</p>

<p>i bombed my spanish test.=D</p>

<p>For Lawrenceville language tests you have around three or four short essays, and I only did one or two…</p>

<p>For Chinese there’s only one optional essay for those wanting to take advanced Chinese.</p>

<p>For the latin language test, I didn’t have to write an essay but I am sure it depends on the level of latin your planning on taking.</p>

<p>hi I go to lawrenceville.</p>

<p>do not worry about placement tests, during the first week of school a lot of kids are moved around in language b/c the teachers see that they are clearly in the wrong level.</p>

<p>And yes, you may take multiple languages at the same time. At lville, there is a lot of scheduling flexibility. If you are great at one subject you may double up in that area, at the expense of dropping another one… theres a fair number of students who drop history to double up on science for example.</p>

<p>It’s not a big deal, what you REALLY don’t want to happen is to study too hard for the placement and end up in a class that’s way too advanced for you.</p>

<p>DeterminedDude, my son was embarrassed to turn in his French placement test so you can both be in the beginning French class. I’ll let him know he’ll be in good company :)</p>

<p>He hasn’t gotten the math one yet.</p>

<p>Sorry for being off topic, but Neatoburrito, I burst out laughing at your reason for editing the last post: * DeterminedBude instead of Dude :). * Still, it was DeterminedDude, not DeterminedBude.</p>

<p>I’m just afraid as an incoming junior i’ll be placed in a class with all freshman =P</p>

<p>there are plenty of classes mixed with kids of all grades. I am currently a junior and have a handful of sophomores in my calc class. dont worry.</p>
