IUHPFL - STUDENTS: Language Test Registration

Students who are eligible for the IUHPFL and interested in applying must first take the language test. Below you will find the answers to your questions regarding the language test.

The language test assesses the potential Honors Program student's grammar, reading, and listening comprehension skills. Also as part of the test, students will be asked to formulate an authentic writing sample on a given topic. The test will take roughly an hour and forty-five minutes to complete.

Your scores on the language test will determine whether or not you are invited to apply to the IUHPFL. Results of the language test will be communicated to the IUHPFL Coordinator at your school in early November, who will then communicate to you whether or not you are invited to apply to the IUHPFL.

The language test is held at several regional sites in Indiana, typically on IU campuses or high schools in the area, on Saturdays in October. A make-up test is offered on the following Mondays for those who absolutely cannot test on Saturday.

All students will be required to show a photo ID when they check in for the test. Examples of a valid photo ID include a state-issued driver’s license, a state-issued ID card, a school ID, or a passport.
