<p>I have a question regarding the Spanish Placement Test. </p>
<p>I see that all the Spanish courses from 1 to 3 are currently on waitlist. They were on waitlist stretching way back in the summer. </p>
<p>Does this mean that those who place on the "summer" spanish placement tests (which was today and is tomorrow) cannot enroll in their Spanish course until the Winter? </p>
<p>Or are there some reserved seats for them?</p>
<p>Help? Anyone?</p>
<p>Taking the Spanish placement test doesn’t guarantee you a spot in a class. If you took it this week and you are not enrolled in the class, you can enroll for another quarter.</p>
<p>So how was the test for you? I might take it soon and I’m curious as to what it’s like.</p>
<p>I haven’t taken the test yet and I don’t know what to do. <em>sob</em></p>
<p>I don’t want to be held back a quarter.</p>
<p>You’re not a senior, are you? I’m sure you can definitely take the test and THEN enroll into the class, but it shouldn’t be such a big deal. Spanish does understandably fill up faster than other classes, but a lot of students eventually are able to take the class.</p>
<p>Maybe a spot might open up if you’re on the waitlist.</p>
<p>You don’t have to take the Spanish placement test to enroll into Spanish. You judge yourself on what level of Spanish you are for courses 1 to 3. However, if you are wait listed for those classes, there is a definite order the TA’s take into account on who gets into the classes.</p>

On URSA, doesn’t it prevent you from enrolling in anything higher than Spanish 1 due to unsatisfied perquisites? How does self placement work?</p>
<p>Self-placement is what it sounds like. You choose the level you want to go into and simply enroll without having to take the placement exam.</p>
<p>I didn’t know this at first and enrolled into Spanish 2 prior to taking the placement exam, and I eventually got placed into Spanish 4. I didn’t need to take the placement exam however, but I guess the extra studying didn’t hurt.</p>
