SAT II: Spanish?

<p>Well, I don't know anyone whose ever taken an SAT II on spanish. I'm thinking of taking it this upcoming November. Has anyone taken it? Is it even worth taking it?</p>

<p>It depends on how comfortable you are with the language. If you’re a native speaker, or have been taking Spanish for many years, you probably won’t have any issues at all scoring in the 700-800 range. I think that the SATII is very similar to the old-style AP Spanish Language test - it includes many basic grammar questions and reading-comprehension passages that are not very difficult, in my opinion. As a whole, I think it’s a pretty fair measure of knowledge (i.e. not too easy or too hard). Even if you haven’t been taking language courses very long, I believe it’s fairly easy to score 700+ simply by reviewing grammar concepts and practicing reading/listening comprehension.</p>

<p>I took the SAT Spanish test in June after completing AP Spanish. It tested grammar, comprehension and vocab. I bought Barron’s prep book but I only took one practice test, I didn’t really study…I was really nervous and thought I bombed it because I skipped like 10 and guessed on a BUNCH. I pulled off a 710 though. I would advise you to get Barron’s if you want to take it and if you read through the grammar guide like twice and take maybe 4 or 5 of the 10 practice tests you’ll get above a 750. Good luck!</p>
