Hindi-Urdu test format

The placement test in Hindi-Urdu typically consists of the following parts:

• A questionnaire about languages in the student’s formal education and languages spoken at home.
• A short writing sample in which the student writes about her/himself.
• Some questions based on a film clip.
• An oral interview (about 5 minutes).

FALL 2020 UPDATE:

The test is now online, and has these parts:

1. A questionnaire about your previous language study and experience;
2. A listening comprehension section based on a film clip;
3. A writing sample (you can use either the Hindi script, or the Urdu script, or Roman transliteration);
4. A speaking sample.

For most people that will be it, but some people may also be asked to do an oral interview via zoom.
