Placement Test
In order to facilitate registration, the German Studies Department asks that all incoming students interested in taking a basic level German course at Davidson take the online placement test.
It will take no more than 10 minutes to complete. First-year students are asked to take this test by Monday, June 19, 2023 in order to select the appropriate course level. If you are not a first-year student and would like to take the test, contact Prof. Burkhard Henke, at buhenke@davidson.edu. Note that no student can satisfy the language requirement solely by taking the test.
