Dear ’19,
I’ve received a number of questions regarding the placement tests and whether or not they’re mandatory.
Please look over the placement test information here:
https://wesfiles.wesleyan.edu/departments/Reg/NewStudentSummerTasks/Public/PlacementTestInformation.pdf
This document explains the conditions under which the placement exams would be required. The placement exams are an essential part of preparing to select your courses in July, particularly if you’re considering whether or not to continue studying a language or if you’d like to pursue Music Theory, as the results enable you to gauge your skill level and therefore give you (and your advisor) a sense of which courses you should take. Please note that the deadline to take your placement exams is June 30.
Best,
Dean Wood
