<p>Has anyone taken the Spanish Language Placement Test? About how long does it take to complete? Is it timed?</p>
<p>Check this site on UNC’s website for the info you requested. Personally, I’d wait and take the placement test once you’ve completed your highest language course in high school and/or reviewed.</p>
<p>there is a nice video tutorial to show you about the test - I think you can even re-do it if necessary.</p>
<p>[Language</a> Placement Test](<a href=“http://www.unc.edu/languageplacement/index.php]Language”>http://www.unc.edu/languageplacement/index.php).</p>
<p>Yes, I had already been to this site and watched the videos beforehand. I didn’t see anything that told me how long the test was.</p>
<p>The test length is variable since the test is “adaptive” - the more you know the longer the test. My “D” took it last year for Spanish and had taken AP Spanish. Her test lasted ~20minutes.</p>
<p>I just took the Spanish placement test… it took me about ten minutes. There were a couple paragraph-long selections, but it was generally pretty quick and straightforward. I didn’t know about half the answers, and although I’ve only taken Spanishes 1 and 2, I have been placed into Spanish 203. the description of the course says, “First-year students have typically had 3-4 years of previous study of the language,” so I am a little worried…</p>
<p>when do you take the test? and what do you do?</p>
<p>You’re supposed to take it at least 1 month before CTOPs. The web site has videos that show how to get started.</p>
