What is the EPT?

To take a second-year course (1003-1004) at U of M in French, German, or Spanish, you must pass the Entrance Proficiency Test (EPT).  The EPT consists of three portions: reading, listening, and writing.  Each part lasts 50 minutes.  All three portions of the EPT are taken on-line through this website.  You may take the three portions consecutively or at different times.  Your complete test results and course placement will be posted on this website within five business days of completing the EPT.

You may take the EPT only once.  The EPT does not offer any course credit.

Be sure to read about Eligibility to see if you need to take the EPT, or if you should take a different placement test.
