Cambridge Placement Test
All students wishing to take an evening or afternoon course in the UCD Applied Language Centre must take a placement test to assess the students' language level.
Placement Tests must be booked in advance. The cost of the placement test is €10 and is non-refundable.
Assess your level against the Council of Europe Self-Assessment Grid here (For your own assessment of which level placement test is best for you).
