<p>What is considered a good score for a non-native speaker? I'm getting mixed reviews, and I don't know how it's curved.</p>

<p>I got 700 in French (this is my 4th year of French) and also in Spanish (this is my 6th year of Spanish), both without listening.</p>

<p>(However, I did study in Spain for a month and I marked that on my test. Later, when I went online, I found percentiles for the language tests, but it mentions that the percentiles didn't include native speakers and people who have studied abroad---does that mean I was curved differently?)</p>

<p>no it doesnt mean u were curved differently and i m pretty sure they include native speakers...that's why an 800 is like 90th percentile</p>

Whoa, where'd you find those?!</p>

<p>EDIT: Jk, found</a> it.</p>

<p>Anyways, my opinion is that 700+ is good for a non-native speaker (although of course it really depends on one's background in the language)... but wow, getting 700 in French AND Spanish is frickin' awesome.</p>
