<p>How hard is the SAT II Spanish w/o listening. Should a third year Spanish student take it?</p>
<p>Does one need to know stuff other than basic vocab, preterit, imperfect, future and subjunctive in order to do well?</p>
<p>yeah you need to know all that. vocab is quite in depth, and i really dont recommend it for a spanish 3 student. it is pretty hard unless you know obscure words like i saw in some practice tests "to squint", and "heels". Es m</p>
<p>I'm in Spanish 4 and was originally going to take the subject test, but then I bought a prep book and took 2 practice tests and decided not to because it's really hard! There are lots of verb conjugation stuff and then a lot of vocab that most people wouldn't konw.</p>
<p>I took it this year and it was horrible! I took it after completing Spanish 7/8 and I got a 540 on it. But I have had terrible teachers all these years who hardly speak Spanish themselves.<br>
Also, I think that the native speakers who take it curve the grades very high making it even more difficult for a non-native speaker like myself to do well on it.</p>
<p>Also a third year Spanish student probably wouldn't have a wide enough vocabularly to take the test.</p>
<p>i got a 790 but i've been to spain and have taken spanish for a while</p>
<p>you probably wouldn't be ready</p>
<p>Thanks for you advice, everyone. I wasn't planning to get a stellar score though. If my goal is 650 or above, which a lot of ivies have as a requirement to skip taking language in college, then would this change? Or is even breaking 650 muy dificil?</p>
