LEVEL OF PLACEMENT
The
German Placement Exam will place a student in
the appropriate German class from which he/she will
begin work
towards fulfilling the German Language Requirement
at Northwestern (usually students need to pass German
102-3 with a grade of C- or better).
Based
on the results of the Northwestern German Placement
Exam, the German department will place students
into one of the following classes from which they begin
work
towards fulfilling the German Language Requirement
at Northwestern University
- 101-1
(First Year German, first quarter, given only in
the Fall
- 101-2
(First Year German, second quarter, given only
in the Winter
- 102-1
(Second Year German, first quarter, given only
in the Fall)
- 102-2
(Second Year German, second quarter, given only
in the Winter
- Or
one of the following classes: 211, 221-3
Introduction to German Literature; 205-1
or 205-2 Intermediate Grammar
and Composition; or German 102-3 (Spring).
Students
with inconclusive results (for example a low placement
exam score despite several years of language instruction)
will be asked to take a short follow-up oral exam
to ensure proper placement. If
your score in the German Placement Exam is sufficiently
high, you will be contacted by the German Department
with further instructions on how to sign up for the German
Proficiency Validation Exam.
IMPORTANT
Students not enroll in a lower class than what they were placed in because
they will essentially repeat work they have done at the high school
level and they will not be given credit for
the class.
A student can, however, enroll in a class higher than what the result
of the exam suggests if he/she feel that his/her language skills are
strong and that he/she
did poorly on the test. Before
students get ready to take the placement exam, however, we suggest
that they first look at the placement
exam practice test to familiarize themselves with the format
and the technology necessary to take the exam.
