TEST RESULTS AND VALIDATION

Any student with prior knowledge of German (acquired through schooling, study abroad, travel, or through interactions with bilingual parents or relatives) will have to take the German Placement Exam prior to taking German classes here at Northwestern. The outcome or results of the German Placement Exam will identify the appropriate German class for each student to register from which he/she will begin work towards fulfilling the German Language Requirement at Northwestern. Usually, a student will have to pass German 102-3 with a grade of C- or better to fulfill the two-year Language Requirement.

Students with very good German skills may pass the two-year German Language Proficiency Requirement by taking a test called German Proficiency Validation Exam. In order to be considered for the German Proficiency Validation Exam, students MUST take the German Placement Exam first. If their score is sufficiently high, they will be contacted by the German Department with further information for taking the exam.

The German Proficiency Validation Exam is composed of two parts (an oral interview and a composition) and will take about 1 to1/2 hours.

If you took the German Placement Exam in the Fall 2003 or later, you can check your test results on the following web page:
