Do you have to say goodbye on the interpersonal conversation? Is that a requirement?

No clue on how it affected the curve, but IMO the test is easier.

Also, how much will it damage your grade if you forgot to follow the outline on the interpersonal conversation?

@skieurope I think it definitely made the curve more friendly. If you look at last year’s score distribution, 1.5% of takers got a 1, 9.2% got a 2. The rest got a three or above. IMO, that is a really nice curve.

Everybody on here is hoping for a 5…I’d love a 3. Even a two gets me six credits (and this is at a top 20 university).

The responses have to be appropriate to the task.

Anyone know the curve for this years exam?

It hasn’t been set yet.

Yeah, I think this new test, at least this years’ test, was pretty easy. I don’t speak any Spanish at all outside of class, and I still think that I might have a shot at a 5, even though coming into the test I was expecting a 3

The test was definitely easier than the old released tests… All of the MC were very doable, only the last one was a bit tricky IMO… I’m hoping for a 5 obviously, but a 4 wouldn’t suck because I’m not pursuing Spanish…

Anyone else see their scores? got a 4, thankfully

Got mine too and I got a 5. I’m hispanic though

Yay! I got a 5, but I thought that this test was too easy. Anyone know the score distribution?

5: 27.3%
4: 35.2%
3: 27.5%
2: 8.7%
1: 1.3%

My son is getting ready for his 4th year of Spanish at a public high school in Ohio and is eager to ascertain how difficult it would be to attain a 3 with self-study since the class is not AP per se at his school? He is planning to talk to his instructor at the beginning of the school year to review the test content and format. Any ideas or thoughts?
