The first step is the self-assessment questionnaire, which you fill out as accurately and honestly as possible. The second step is a series of grammar exercises of increasing difficulty. We ask that you complete this step to the best of your ability. Your test score will determine which courses you are eligible to register for through Carleton Central.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"in-person-verification-of-your-proficiency\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">In-person Verification of Your Proficiency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your oral proficiency will be assessed during the <strong>first week of classes<\/strong> and based on your results, you will either stay in the course determined by the online placement test or the instructor will recommend another course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have already taken and passed a French course at Carleton, then you should enroll in the next course via <a href=\"https:\/\/central.carleton.ca\/\">Carleton Central<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you decide to take a French course at Carleton (whether you are majoring in French or not), you will initially take our online French Language Placement Test, which will establish your level of French.
