35m assigned language?

As a new recruit, it's possible but not necessarily going to happen. The Categories are the difficulty level, not the level of need. For instance, Japanese is a Cat 4 language but we don't need Japanese speakers like we need Arabic, Chinese, Russian, and Korean speakers.

What language? If that's the case, you may be able to schedule a DLPT once you get to DLI. I had a friend who was a 35M and they were already fluent in Spanish when they got assigned to the Spanish course. They asked to schedule a DLPT for Spanish and within a reasonable amount of time, they left DLI and continued on with their service. Ask your company leaders when you get to DLI. CAT 3 languages are a year long, but your instructors are mostly native speakers who aside from the language, teach you a lot of cultural and political aspects about the country to which that language belongs. Their personal experiences are very valuable to understanding the language. DLI offers some great courses and Monterey is absolutely beautiful. It can be tiring, but it's all worth it in the end. But if you feel you would rather test out and move on, do what you will. It is your choice.

What languages are you fluent in? You may be sent to learn a new language if it's necessary or you also can be assigned your fluent language. It's up to the situation. https://tiny-fishing.com
