<p>Are these difficult or easy?</p>
<p>It depends who you ask. It seems that more students place out of the Spanish than the French.</p>
<p>The Spanish one can be taken from home, which is a little ridiculous.</p>
<p>The French placement exam is not hard, per se, but the one I took focused mostly on some obscure aspects of culture that most people didn’t know. The worst part is that the placement exams are considered infallible, so even if your performance on the test doesn’t reflect your abilities in French, you’re stuck with the results.</p>
