Results of your placement test prior to your arrival, your language experience, and feedback from your teachers during your study program in Merida are means we use to place you in your classes. In addition we ask you to fill in the following form in order to ensure we form study groups correctly and to prepare your study materials. This list is a basic outline to give an idea.
