<p>Ok so I took Spanish 1 four years ago in 8th grade and then did Spanish 2 and 3 in 9th grade (I'm currently a senior and will be going to the University of Pennsylvania). I noticed that I can get out of my 4 class language requirement as long as I get a 650+ on the Spanish Laguage SATII test. I've gotten 800s on Math 2, Chem, and Physics but I am a math/science guy more than a language person so I was wondering how difficult it would be to get to a 650 if I was to study from the bottom up and take the test in June?</p>
<p>Oh yeah, I don’t really remember much of what I learned 3-4 years ago since I haven’t used any of it… so it really is going to be from the bottom up! Thanks!</p>
<p>BUMP</p>

<p>As a person who took the Spanish subject test twice, I would say you’re unprepared. The 1st time I took it was at the end of Spanish 3, and I barely managed a 540. It was rough. The 2nd time I took it was January 2014, after 4 months of living in a Spanish speaking country and studying grammar heavily. I am pleased with my 780. Remember native speakers take this test too, which really shifts the curve. You’ll have to study really hard and become very familiar with lots of different vocabulary and know all the verb forms and when they’re used.
You sound like a smart guy, so I wish you luck. </p>
<p>I recently scored an 800 on it and I’m not a native speaker. However, I’m in AP Spanish and Spanish is my favorite subject and all of my EC’s relate to it. Sooo… I think with strict grammar review and memorizing the vocab from Enfoques and Triangulo (AP text books) you can do it. Buena suerte!</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies! @quaker789 do you think that those are better than barrons/other mainstream brands?</p>
<p>There’s really only one way to master all the vocab, and that is to get your hand on every book possible. I know it sounds tedious but there are hundreds of thousands of millions of words that could show up.</p>
