<p>Yeah, there are placement exams during orientation. They’re usually in the languages (which can range from a written test to a consultation with a prof), math, sciences, and I think music as well. I think last year they were all on the same day…but I know most of my friends only did tests in languages (as did I), since there’s a mailed take-home math placement test and there aren’t quite as many people taking science/music exams.</p>
