<p>so far, I've just self-studied the equivalent of 3 years of HS spanish that I forgot. It was from a college textbook. Should I try to study further just in case? My exam is next week so I'm getting really stressed out</p>
<p>For those who took 3 years equivalent of HS spanish, how was the difficulty?</p>
<p>I've heard subjunctive and grammar are important.
Will you get a question wrong if you forget the stem-changes for irregular verbs? if you don't know of the irregular forms of future, imperfect, preterite, etc tenses?
Besides the present subjunctive, what other kinds of subjunctive do I need to know? (like past, pluperfect, etc)
What type of vocab (even though there is only a little bit of it) should I know; for instance: dates, seasons, body parts, weekdays, occupations, time, numbers...etc.</p>
<p>I had really poor HS teachers. Alot of the Spanish I've self-studied in the past couple months has actually been new to me.</p>
<p>it was fine if u wanna test of of the requirement. but if u wanna get to like level 6, then idk..i placed into level 4. i think u only need to know present subjective, as far as i remember.</p>
<p>as of vocab there are some questions in spanish like "que tiene los huevos?" and the only good choice is "la gallina" and the rest are insects</p>
<p>they basically test on everything: grammar, reading comprehension, and grammar. the test will give you a few questions and then determine how hard the rest of your questions on how you did on the first few.</p>
<p>i suck at spanish and i got placed into spanish3. i had 3 years of spanish, but i didn't study at all for this test. i think if you review, you should pass.</p>
<p>i have a question for other ucla kids though - i got placed into spanish3. i was close to the mark for passing out of it (i got a 349, passing out of spanish was 360). can i take the test again later and pass out of it, or do i HAVE to take spanish3?</p>
<p>grammar, reading comprehension, and grammar? did you mean grammer, reading, and vocab?</p>
<p>When I called UCLA about orientation and asked about the spanish exam, they said that you only get one chance. so if you place into spanish3, you have to take it, you cant retry the exam</p>
<p>i think u can retry the exam in sept, but they always take your most RECENT score. so if u place lower than the previous, that's too bad! well that's what i heard about math..</p>
<p>you can't really pinpoint all the topics because it gets harder the more you get right and gets easier the more you get wrong so it's really up to how well you do. I would just say review tenses, some vocab, and grammar.</p>
<p>I got placed into Spanish 3.......8 points off of Spanish 4 which kinda ****ed me off lol but oh well.</p>
<p>let's say you took the test but got placed into spanish 3...could u opt not to even take spanish and instead korean during your normal quarter courses?</p>
<ol>
<li>Students who plan to take Korean language classes at UCLA for the first time but have some background in the Korean Language must take the test.</li>
<li>Those who need to fulfill the foreign language requirement (for 1 or 2 yrs) at UCLA can take the Korean placement test by passing out elementary and/or intermediate level.</li>
</ol>
<p>I have some limited background/knowledge in speaking/listening but can't read or write at all. Should I still take the test?
If you have no literacy skills in Korean, you do not need to take the test. Instead, you should enroll in Korean 1A (heritage track). If you have no knowledge of the language at all, we recommend you to start with Korean 1 (non-heritage track).</p>
