ASL Placement Test (ASLPT)

ASL classes at Gallaudet University may not be equivalent to classes you have taken at other locations.  The ASL Placement Test (ASLPT) gauges your proficiency in American Sign Language (ASL) and determines the suitable ASL Connect ASL class level for you. The ASLPT consists of a receptive examination involving the viewing of videos and providing correct answers. It evaluates understanding of ASL grammar, production, and semantics.  Here is the link for more information about ASLPT.

The ASLPT requires a computer with internet access, and all questions are presented in a multiple-choice format.  When registering for the course, please review the course descriptions and select the one that seems to fit your current skill level. Before receiving access to the test, students must submit an application and pay the non-refundable $75 application fee. Once the application and fee are processed, you will receive an email within a few days containing detailed instructions and a link to complete your ASLPT.

NOTE: If you are planning to take ASL 1, you do not need to take the ASL Placement Test (ASLPT).
