Go to the above website for more info. There was one on September 22nd and the last one was this morning. I remember the website mentions more exams will be given in October, so check out the above link. If you have problems, just log on the UCLA Spanish&Portuguese dpt and click on the spanish placement exam link.</p>
<p>okay great thanks!</p>
<p>You are welcome!</p>
<p>Did you ask them when we’ll get the result? I sent the department an email but I haven’t gotten a response yet. I took the test on tuesday also.</p>
<p>Godlactose, the score shows on the screen at the end of the test.</p>
<p>Yeah but we don’t know what the three digit score means in terms of their placement levels.</p>
<p>I am sure you can find out about your score at the Spanish dpt. Hope you did better than me!</p>
<p>I might be wrong but I am 99% percent sure that scores in the 100’s meean you are placed in Spanish 1, 200’s means Spanish 2, 300’s Spanish 3. A score of 400, 500 and 600satisfies the foreign language requirement. However, I have read somewhere that a score of 360 is rounded up to 400 and thus satisfies the requirement, so If that is true, does that mean that my score of 267 would be rounded up to 300 and as a result, I would be placed in Spanish 3 instead of 2? That’s what I am trying to find out for sure.</p>
<p>I just found out that I have been placed in Spanish 3 with a score of 267. I was also told that instead of taking Spanish 3, I am free to take 1 year of another language. So, if you score 160 to 200, you are in Spanish 2, from 260 to 300, you are in Spanish 3, and you satisfy the FL requirement with a score of 360, which puts you at level 4, Spanish 4.</p>
<p>I got a 423 and got placed into spanish 4. woot woot no more spanish</p>
<p>Boooooo… just kidding, good for you Godlactose! I did not have Spanish in my senior year; not knowing about this FL requirement and thinking that i was done with Spanish, I try my best to forget all of it, and I almost succeeded. To tell the truth, I was impressed that I managed to be placed in Spanish 3. As a matter of fact, I might take french instead!</p>
<p>I placed out with 393 ^^</p>
<p>Though, it was kind of silly that I didn’t get into at least the upper 400’s because I took 4 YEARS of Spanish in high school -.-</p>
<p>^^^ for those of you who tested out, how fluent were you in spanish… I took 3 years in high school, and still remember alot, but am nowhere near able to hold a full conversation, read a book, etc…</p>
<p>It is computer based (as in multiple choice and such), so that helps, correct?</p>
<p>Yes they sit you in front of a computer and it’s a multiple choice test. I would say that helps a lot because everything is there, so it’s just whatever level of “ability to distinguish” you have, I guess. </p>
<p>I’m not really fluent. I can read it better than I can hear it better than I can speak it, let’s just say that. For the purposes of this test, all I had to do was read, so I personally was fine. </p>
<p>PS the most they require you to read is like a full paragraph. Those questions were really easy because the answers were in the paragraph like most tests with reading are.</p>
<p>I actually studied for the test, after not having spanish for a year and only going up to 4 years (of 5 at my high school), I thought I wasn’t ready. The test wasn’t as easy as I thought it’d be, but I still placed out of it, so I guess one would do fine if they could analyze a paragraph and pick out the key words.</p>
