<p>Hey guys, I just wanted to know if Lafayette offers placement exams. And I want to know who else are gonna take Placement exams if they get admitted in Lafayette.</p>
<p>If I recall correctly, after my son was admitted and enrolled, he was required to take an online math placement test. I think he exempted the language placement test due to his high SAT II score in Spanish (750). </p>
<p>I don’t think these tests are offered before you enroll, and after you’re enrolled I don’t think they’re optional.</p>
<p>I just want to add up some credit hours in my belt and reduce my workload…and maybe double major?</p>
<p>Many colleges do language placement exams on line or during orientation. Check the website.</p>
<p>Expeliarmus, if you want to “add up some credit hours,” you appear to be referring to AP (Advanced Placement) or IB exams. A very large percentage of Lafayette students will have taken at least one of these. Lafayette’s policy on these is on their website:
[IB</a> and AP Policy Admissions Lafayette College](<a href=“http://admissions.lafayette.edu/requirements-deadlines/ib-and-ap-policy/]IB”>http://admissions.lafayette.edu/requirements-deadlines/ib-and-ap-policy/)</p>
<p>Placement exams offered by the college for language and math don’t give you any credit hours at Lafayette - they just determine what class level to place you in (and they may get you out of the language requirement). You’d still need to take the same number of classes to graduate.</p>
<p>Here is some additional information regarding AP credits:

<p>This was exactly what I wanted to know - </p>
