No. At this moment there is not an AP/IB test available for Biblical Hebrew.

Students who are not enrolled in a Biblical Hebrew class, but wish to demonstrate knowledge sufficient to meet placement in a higher level course, may meet with a faculty member. Please contact Professor Scott Noegel at snoegel@uw.edu to inquire their process towards placement in the appropriate course level. 

There are currently no cost associated with taking placement exams in Biblical Hebrew.

Professor Noegel does an ad-hoc exam with students. It involves reviewing literature, seeing the students translation skills, parse grammatical forms, etc. The test usually takes about 30 minutes. 

Unfortunately, there are no study materials available for these tests at the current time.

Professor Scott Noegel (snoegel@uw.edu) will be the best point of contact to conduct and report results on the proficiency exam. 

Students may take the Biblical Hebrew test only one time. 

The scores are valid until the student has graduated from their current degree program at UW.

No, students will not have access to their test scores, but they will be informed of their placement or proficiency after the exam is over. When exams are completed, they are graded, a report form is generated and then sent to the Graduation and Academic Records Office. 

No, students will not get academic credit for their placement or proficiency exams." However, by passing proficiency exams students can meet world language requirements for graduation and requirements for majors and minors in the Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures.
