do i need to take a placement exam: rules of thumb for first-year students
- Take the placement exam in any field in which your plan to take a course during your first year at Yale
- Take a placement exam, if offered, in any foreign language you’ve already studied in college or in which you have some proficiency
- Skip the placement exams for fields in which you won’t take a course during your first year at Yale
- If you decide to study in those fields during your second year here, you can take a placement test next summer. Are you afraid you’ll be rusty? Even so, that will be a more accurate placement than one provided by a year-old placement test
- What if you change your mind and wish to take a course during spring term? Most departments will offer a formal or ad hoc placement exam in January
