<p>I'll be taking the Vietnamese Placement Exam on:</p>
<p>Friday, September 28, 2007
3:00pm to 5:00pm
HAINES 220</p>
<p>What is the format of the test and what should I be prepared for (grammar, essay, mc?)</p>
<p>Freaking easy. Some multiple choice exams, a writing passage... email one of the contacts for Southeast Asian languages and ask. It might be different from when I took it. </p>
<p>Shameless plug: If you need the textbook, I have it. PM me if you want to purchase it for $35.</p>
<p>what's a writing passage?</p>

<p>Choose your contact.</p>
<p>mme-lin: would you happen to have the textbook for SEASIAN 50D? :) My professor hasn't posted up the textbooks we need yet.</p>
<p>Yes, I do. </p>
<p>The textbook is most likely "Chung Ta Noi." </p>
<p>Go ahead and email your instructor and see if it's the same! </p>
<p>^_^</p>
<p>if i do bad on the test, can i retake it the following year?</p>
<p>I don't know. Did you contact someone from the website?</p>
<p>Oh yeah... and if you have the choice - please choose Bui over Nguyen. I've heard he's a million times better. I didn't like Nguyen's class very much. Nice woman but Bui would have been better.</p>
<p>i think you have 1 shot each year at the test from what i remember at orientation.</p>
<p>Emmeline, was Nguyen hard or something? I have her for 50D this quarter, since Bui's class was all filled up...</p>
<p>No. Bui is just better. She was really soft-speaking and well I should've done 50A since I'm practically illiterate and more of a conversational speaker.</p>
<p>can we just show up to take the exam or do we have to sign up? x_o</p>
