<p>I know there is a placement test for Spanish during orientation, so don’t worry about spending your money to take the SAT. You can just take the test when you get here. That’s what the majority of students do, I think.</p>
<p>Waves, I don’t <em>think</em> there’s a placement test for Arabic, but I could be wrong. Without a test, what you would have to do most likely when it’s time to register for classes is to email the person in charge of the Arabic program, discuss your previous knowledge/skills with them and determine which class they feel it would be best for you to be placed in. Then they would give you an override to register for that class (because if not, the system wouldn’t let you because you didn’t have the proper prerequisites). You may have already seen this link, but these are the Arabic courses UR offers, in case you want to start considering which course would be the best place to start:</p>
<p>[Courses</a> - University of Richmond School of Arts & Sciences: Arabic](<a href=“Arabic Studies - Academics - Languages, Literatures, and Cultures - School of Arts & Sciences - University of Richmond”>Arabic Studies - Academics - Languages, Literatures, and Cultures - School of Arts & Sciences - University of Richmond)</p>
<p>UR Admissions, if there actually is a placement test, please correct me - then all the complicated override mess can just be disregarded.</p>
