The Yale Portuguese Placement Test will be administered online. This test is intended to determine a proper Portuguese level for you so that you will get the most out of your academic experience in one of our courses. Your test will be evaluated by our department and it is to be taken without any outside help or access to resources or materials. You are expected to provide short answers, multiple choice, and brief essays. Do not worry if you do not understand every word. Use the global information and the context to provide an answer. This test does not evaluate your potential knowledge, but rather it tries to determine your current level. Try to answer all questions with your best effort.
Before taking the placement test, please read Yale College’s policy on academic honesty.
Further information about placement testing and the use of placement scores at Yale can be found here.
