<p>Hey everyone. I'm in a bizarre position in that I have recently completed my senior year and am all set for graduation... except I need to fulfill my language requirement :-)</p>
<p>I took 3 years of Spanish in high school and I have been self-studying Spanish for about a year now with Rosetta Stone and the textbook assigned to the Spanish classes at Michigan, so I have a pretty good grasp on the language. In fact, I think I know it better than most people who have completed their language requirement at Michigan. That said, I am a little paranoid about the test. </p>
<p>Does anyone have any insight about what the Spanish language requirement test is like? Is it mostly grammar or vocab? Is it hard?</p>
<p>Thanks a bunch!</p>
<p>PS: The reason that I never took any language classes at Michigan is because I was going to graduate from the school of education, however the success of my small business that I started last year caused me to switch to an LSA degree, where you do need a language requirement.</p>
<p>Immediate if its like the one they gave at orientation it was like s third reading, a third listening and then a third vocab/conjugating I think. </p>
<p>It wasn’t too bad from what I remember. I forgot all my Spanish when I took it but I knew that at one point I did know this Haha. And that was just threw Spanish 3</p>
<p>When I took it, I thought it was rather easy. There were some listening questions, some grammar stuff, and some questions were you just had to identify the action/word in a picture. I thought it was pretty simple and straightforward. If you can read and understand Spanish relatively well, you should be fine. </p>
<p>That being said, I am a native speaker and managed to test out of the requirement. But even if you’re not a native speaker, I don’t think it’s too difficult.</p>
<p>I didn’t get any credit haha.</p>
<p>I had forgotten nearly all of my Spanish from Spanish 3 my Sophomore year.</p>
<p>I wish I really remembered though. They eat that international stuff up on engineering.</p>
<p>If I could have taken that placement test the summer after Spanish three, I would have gotten a little credit.</p>
<p>I also guessed too much, and that killed me. There is a guessing penalty. If I would have just stayed with what I remembered I might have gotten credit</p>
