  • The placement exam takes about 30-40 minutes. It is a multiple-choice test. You will receive your score the same day you take the test.
  • The placement exam DOES NOT give credit for a class. It only allows you to enroll in the language course that is appropriate for your level.
  • Have your EMPL ID# ready (you can access this in your Cal Poly Portal). 
  • You can contact the proctor (Dr. Silvia Marijuan) if you have questions.
  • You will enter the "waiting room" in Zoom, so please allow for about 5 minutes for the proctor to check you in. 
  • The fee for the online placement exam is $10.00 payable online at the time of the exam by credit/debit card (not your Campus Express account).
