No, the testing has no impact on your grades.
Math Placement Exams
The math placement testing is mandatory and provides the appropriate level of math for academic requirements. The math placement information can be found here: http://www.hiram.edu/new-student/placement-exams. Please make sure to review instructions before attempting to complete the exams.
Foreign Language Placement Exam
Starting Fall 2019, foreign language is no longer a graduation requirement. Only students who wish to continue foreign language studies begun prior to attending Hiram and who want to complete a foreign language placement exam should request a consult by contacting Abigail Stevenson at stevensonan@hiram.edu or 330.569.5177.
NOTE: Completing this exam merely provides a placement indicator of a student’s competency level. It does not provide or fulfill any academic credit requirements.
