Foreign Language Achievement Testing Service

The Foreign Language Achievement Testing Service (FLATS) at Brigham Young University, a viable option for many APU and non-APU students, offers tests for more than 50 languages. For APU students, the exam is pass-fail, and students who pass through the 102 course level will receive 3 elective units. The tests cover listening, reading, and grammar, are in multiple-choice format, and allow students two and a half hours to complete. Unofficial FLATS results are emailed to you within 24 hours and will be sent to your institution in 3-4 weeks.
