<p>Where can I find information about German placement exams? I’m not taking the AP test, so I’d really like some information about them. Thanks.</p>
<p>I’m also looking at taking German at MIT next year. From what I’ve been told (here and at the academics fair at CPW), there is no placement test; you talk to your advisor and a professor, choose a class based on that, and apparently it’s pretty easy to move up and down.</p>
<p>Looks like it’s all immersive-style teaching, too, which may or may not make things easier for those of us whose German background is good in some ways, bad in others.</p>
<p>Take a look at the syllabus for the different levels on <a href=“http://ocw.mit.edu%5B/url%5D”>http://ocw.mit.edu</a> to get a feel for where you might fit in. Also, consider that you’ll be on pass/no record first semester, so if you’re feeling up to it, you can try out German III or IV to get one of your Hass-Ds out of the way :)</p>
