SAT II Spanish Thread

<p>I thought it was tougher than the practice tests I'd taken. Are we allowed to discuss specifics?</p>

<p>I guess I can. Did anyone get the following?</p>

<p>-traje sencillo
-era costumbre que asistieran
-discontento con la realidad humana
-...mejor que ninguno...</p>

<p>I took Spanish in May and it was easier than Barron's. Got a 700 after getting 650-680s in Barrons so I was happy. Don't worry, you probably did better than you think! :-)</p>

<p>Thanks! I used Barron's too.</p>

<p>I thought it was in a level of difficulty somewhere in-between hard and easy, lol...sort of like the one in CB's Real SAT IIs. I wasn't expecting so many diagrams/ad-type things though...</p>

<p>I thought that was def harder than the prac test in the reals. I flunked it so bad - thank goodness it was only for placement and not for admissions :)</p>

<p>Did anyone get the following?</p>

<p>-traje sencillo
-era costumbre que asistieran
-discontento con la realidad humana
-...mejor que ninguno...</p>

<p>It's 10 a.m. pacific time, so I guess we can discuss now.</p>

<p>THANK GOD this is only for placement!!!!! If it were for admission, I'd be screwed. Anyway, I need only a 630 to get out of foreign language requirement, but this test was really hard compared to Princeton Review and Real SAT IIs that I've taken.</p>

<p>There were also too many reading passages / ads. Freakin PR said they would have max 5, and this had like what 7 or 8??!! The vocab was also harder than the practices.</p>

<p>I'm just hoping for a 630! Please god 630 i don't want to memorize stupid vocabulary and grammar rules anymore! I wanna be done w/ spanish</p>

<p>I'm in the same boat as leejwwc and paulhomework...placement purposes only (thankfully)....I need a 600 to get out of a foreign language requirement, but I'm not too confident...</p>

<p>It was weird though, because there were virtually no seniors at the entire administering...I really felt out of place taking an SAT having graduated and everything...</p>

<p>The vocab. did seem harder. To add to the list, did anyone end up with...</p>

<p>-buen
-lo unico
-reúna</p>

<p>Plus, where does a mechanic work? I think the choices included cartón and mapa.</p>

<p>beth is sexy..... and amazing... yaya</p>

<p>A mechanic works in a taller (workshop).</p>

<p>^ i used process of elimination to get that!</p>

<p>I thought Hielo meant fire, so the whole passage about the canadian hotel didn't make any sense to me!!! haha good thing i can miss around 25 and still be fine!</p>

<p>did u finish? i dint... what did u think of the reading passages? i was expecting 5, but there were like 10 of them. so longggg, so i dint finish. what score should i expect for 20 wrongs? anyone has the curve? plz...
i did so badly on spanish...will my latin sat ii score overshadow this?</p>

<p>Some of the spanish questions can really be misleading (esp. subjuntivo/subjunctive) but overall they are pretty easy .... it would totally suck if the Spanish Test for SAT's was actually supposed to be as hard (designed for native speakers) as any of the english SAT's are supposed to be for Americans.</p>

<p>LoL.. i was in your shoes May.. i got 720 in january and 770 in May... but i AM hispanic. dont worry guys.. u probably did better than what u think.</p>

<p>There was a blank in the Santana passage--I think it was the last one--that was either que, quien, los que, or los cuales. I know it can't be quien because that's only used with prepositions. I guessed los que. Anyone know?</p>

<p>bump bump bump :)</p>

<p>"Los que" sounds about right if it was the one talking about the kids (ni</p>
