<p>Do we HAVE to take the Foreign Language Placement test before orientation? Or can we take it another time...?</p>
<p>no you do not have to take it during orientation. you can take it during the year</p>
<p>here is the schedule</p>
<p>[UC</a> Riverside | Placement Test Enrollment](<a href=“http://placementtest.ucr.edu/foreign_lang/index.php?cmd=viewSchedule&c3WebSession=85681e8eb660c34eae8aec88f5b396e3]UC”>http://placementtest.ucr.edu/foreign_lang/index.php?cmd=viewSchedule&c3WebSession=85681e8eb660c34eae8aec88f5b396e3)</p>
<p>You can take it anytime it is offered during the year. At the latest, you can take it during the quarter before the quarter where you plan to take a foreign language class.</p>
<p>Also, you can only take it once – there are no retakes. So you’re set in the level into which you placed.</p>
<p>However, if you’re planning to take a completely new language, I don’t think you have to take a placement test for it.</p>
