Placement Test
What should I expect?
The purpose of the Spanish Language Questionnaire and Placement Test is to assess your experiences and knowledge of Spanish to determine in which Spanish class you should enroll at George Mason University.
Once you begin the test, we will start by asking you a few background questions to determine if you need to take the full placement test. Depending on your experience with Spanish, you can expect to spend between 5-40 minutes to complete the test. There is no need to study or review prior to taking the test.
Before beginning, please make sure you are in a distraction-free environment. No outside resources should be used during the placement test, such as translators or AI-tools. There is no time limit on the placement test. While taking the test, you will be able to go back and review your answers if you choose. You will only be allowed to take the test once.
Upon completion of the full placement test, you will see a determination of in which Spanish class you should enroll. If you would like to discuss your placement further or have other questions, please contact the coordinator of the Basic Spanish Program, Carrie Bonilla (cbonill7@gmu.edu).
If you would like to see if you can receive a waiver of the Foreign Language Requirement, please sign up for the waiver test.
