AVANT Placement Test
Results Interpretation
Thank you for taking the Avant Language Placement Test. Please present a copy of your Avant Placement
Test Score (given to you by the testing center) to registration. You should register for the appropriate Arabic, French, German, Italian, or Spanish class according to the chart below. You must register in person as the online system does not recognize your score as a bypass to the pre-requisites. You do not need a signature as the test score is your proof of placement.
AVANT Placement Levels
| AVANT Total Average | Course Placement |
| 0 – 2.1 | 1411 |
| 2.2 – 3.5 | 1412 |
| 3.6 – 5.1 | 2311 or 2313 (Students who are heritage or native speakers of Spanish should take SPAN 2313.) |
| 5.2 – 6.0 | 2312 or 2315 (Students who are heritage or native speakers of Spanish should take SPAN 2315.) |
Your Avant Placement Test score will also appear in your iStar student profile. At the end of the semester, if you pass the class into which you place with a grade of a “C” or better, you may request PLA (Prior Learning Assessment) credit for the course(s) which you by-passed through this test.
