Georgia State Entry Portal for the WebCAPE Placement Exam
What is WebCAPE?
WebCAPE is a web-based implementation of the BYU Foreign Language Computer-Adaptive Placement Exam (CAPE) series. Exams are available in French, German and Spanish. This exam is used to help students determine the level of language course most appropriate for their current ability in the language.
Students who do not have credit for French/German/Spanish 1001 must take this test in order to satisfy the prerequisite before registering for the 1002 - level. This prerequisite will be enforced.
Minimum required scores to register for:
Fren/Grmn/Span 1002 = 200
Fren/Grmn/Span 2001 = 300
If you score 300+, you should consider taking the CLEP exam for credit for level 2001-2002. If you score 400+ you will be contacted via email for placement advisement.
This exam is available for new or continuing Georgia State students. The Web CAPE exam is to be used for placement purposes only. No credit for languages courses will be granted based on the results of this test. Students may take the exam from any computer with internet access and a browser. Each test takes approximately 20 minutes to complete.
When the test is completed, you will be given your score and a recommendation for a class level. You will also receive an email with your score. You should print a copy of your results to keep for your files and for academic advisement purposes. Scores are only valid for 1 year from the exam date. Only the 1st exam score will be used should you decide to take the Web CAPE exam multiple times.
The Department of Modern and Classical Languages will also receive a copy of your score. If your score is high enough, the Department will remove the prerequisite hold from your record and you will be able to register for the appropriate course.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO CONTACT THE DEPARTMENT. Please allow 1 business day for the prerequisite hold to be removed.
