Hi. I just wanted to know how difficult HISP-S280 will be?
I’m not sure of your background at all, so it’s hard to answer. My daughter tested into this and took it her first semester at IU. Her preparation in Spanish wasn’t great, but she was better in other languages and that helped her test very high. She left the first class session in tears! Luckily, her teacher told her that, in her experience, the freshmen who test into 280 end up doing very well. My daughter hired a tutor immediately, but I think by the end of week 2 was perfectly comfortable and could have let the tutor go. She ended the class with an A and became a Spanish major. Grammar was one of her strengths, and I think she eventually found that gave her a big advantage in 280.
