About the DLAB

The DLAB is used to determine language aptitude for Soldiers applying for language training. Certain MOSs may require DLAB testing, such as Special Forces (SF) and Military Intelligence (MI) fields. A passing score is 95; retesting after obtaining a 95 or higher requires an approved exception to policy (ETP). Justification for an exception must include relevant military reasons

attested to by the unit commander.

Personnel who fail to achieve a passing score may retest in six (6) months. First and second retests may be given after six (6) months on approval of the immediate commander. The qualifying DLAB score required to study a particular language can be

found in AR 11-6, Army Foreign Language Program.

About the DLPT

The DLPT is used to evaluate language proficiency, or to add a Language Identifier to a Soldier's MOS. Soldiers holding a Language Identifier and working in their MOS using that language are eligible to receive college credit based on their language training or

test scores.
