Spring 2023 - The World Language placement test will take place on either Tuesday, May 9 or Wednesday, May 17 at 3:00 p.m. at Bishop O’Connell. Any non-diocesan student who would like to take a language level 2 or higher next year at O'Connell must take a test. Please bring a number two pencil for the test. The test itself takes between 45 -60 minutes. Students may leave as soon as they finish the test. (Students who attend a diocesan school will be taking the test at their K-8 school during school hours.)

Please note - Any student who is a heritage Spanish or French speaker is asked to come for a short interview and/or written test on one of those two days.

All German students, including heritage speakers, require a separate test to be scheduled directly with our German faculty.
