<p>No one else?</p>
<p>I didnt even there’s an SAT for Spanish!!</p>
<p>I know there are some people who have taken this exam!</p>
<p>Really? Anyone?</p>
<p>My son is taking the Spanish subject test in June. We have heard that the subject test with listening is very hard, but the plain subject test is more manageable especially for kids learning the language with very little real usage. My son has studied Spanish since 7th grade. He is currently a junior taking AP Spanish. He took a practice test a few days ago without prep and got a 680. Now he is prepping with the Barrons book. Absolutely know your grammar and work on the vocab.
We have also read that it is frowned-upon for native speakers to take and present subject tests in their primary language. Not sure if that is true or not.</p>
<p>Thanks rowmom! Vocab seems to be the only issue for me. Grammar is fine for me. Anyone else? Btw I am not a native speaker.</p>
<p>I’m also taking AP Spanish and wondering the same thing… What book would you guys recommend for Vocab? Barron’s?</p>
<p>Someone reply!</p>
<p>To answer the broad question, tts hard to know how anyone is going to do.</p>
<p>The foreign language SAT’s have a challenging reputation, however it is possible for a non-native speaker to do well. My daughter took the Spanish AP and Spanish SAT at the end of her junior year after taking spanish in middle school and HS. She is a good spanish student (A’s in spanish, high scoring in the national spanish exam, etc…) but she is not a native speaker. She was able to get an 800 on the Spanish SAT and a 5 on the AP. She has a friend in her class that did equally well (also non-native). </p>
<p>The AP and SAT are of course highly correlated, and I think that most students will see this in the scoring if they take both. We noticed that many colleges will let you place out of their foreign language requirement with either an AP score of X or an SAT score of 7xx, so the colleges also see them as closely related. </p>
<p>One final point is that I believe the college board takes out native speakers when they set the curve. So when they show a 750 as the 90th percentile for Spanish, this is the percentile for non-native speakers. This keeps the results from being overly skewed by high scoring native speakers. </p>
<p>Good luck,</p>
<p>What book did she use to prepare for the exam?</p>
<p>Talk to your Spanish teacher. He/she will be able to tell you if you’ve covered the necessary material, how students of your level have done on this SATII in the past, and what would be best to do in preparation - ie, get a tutor, take a class, get a book, or just go on collegeboard and look over review materials there.</p>
<p>The problem is that my teacher does not know much about the Spanish subject test at all! She knows everything about the AP, but she has never had a student of hers want to take the Spanish subject test.</p>
<p>Anyone else?</p>
