Placement Tests
Registration for a placement test via StudOn
To make sure you take an English class at the right level, we need to assess your skills. You have three options:
1. Take a PLACEMENT TEST
The test result is only used to decide which level of course you can attend. You can therefore not “pass” or “fail” it. No grades or points are allocated for the placement test, instead, you are given a ‘level’: E, 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4:
Level E > take “Level E - Elementary English”
Level 0 > take courses at “Level 0”
Level 1 > take courses at “Level 1”
Level 2 > take courses at “Level 2”
Level 3 > take courses at “Level 3”
Level 4 > take courses at “Level 3” and/or “Level 4”
To sign up for a placement test, please click here.
It takes place in Bismarckstr. 1, (basement); signs will lead you to the correct room.
The placement test is a c-test. For more information, please see here.
The placement test may be repeated once in another semester, but only before the first course has been taken. As soon as one course has been taken, all other courses have to be attended in the prescribed order.
