Spanish Placement Test

<p>For those who have taken it, what does it consist of? how hard is it? I was going to get it over with online now, but it says it can take up to 70 mins and it scared me off haha.</p>

<p>I've basically just looked over conjugations to refresh my mind...i was pretty good in spanish when i last ended (before senior year)</p>

<p>where do I find this spanish placement test?</p>

<p>Do I need to take it if I took the spanish ap test and also tested HL in IB?</p>

<p>Not even sure if I am going to continue my spanish studies, but if I need to take a test, better to get it done and over while everything is still fresh in my mind.</p>

<p>well i think they can place you by your incoming ap grade, so you don’t have to take it. if you’re in arts and sciences, you have to continue it or start a new language bc theres a requirement, i don’t know about other schools in cornell though.</p>

<p>Where do we take these tests, and stuff? I wanted to take a different language, but since I already know a lot of Spanish, I might take it just because. My only debate is whether or not to place out of intro spanish and challenge myself in the higher level course, or since I haven’t taken it in two years, to just take the intro class and hopefully do fairly well.</p>

<p>this link should help answer some of the questions</p>

<p>soo, what is it like?? multiple choice on vocab and reading?? how hard is it? I had 4 years of spanish in high school and got a 6 out of 7 on the IB SL exam… but after not using it for a year I hardly remember a thing : (</p>

<p>Took it. I had 5 years of Spanish in HS, and this test was mad hard.</p>

<p>If you can read paragraphs of Spanish and answer comprehension questions in spanish…you should be fine…however, I didn’t do well. </p>

<p>First section is sentences with fill in the bank MC style. Second section is pretty similar I think, a few sentences. Last section are comprehension MC questions based on Spanish paragraphs. </p>

<p>Pretty long test.</p>

<p>^^Agreed. It actually takes 70 minutes.</p>

<p>grrr…</p>

<p>btw is it timed?</p>

<p>70 min time limit…HOWEVER, you can go over…but don’t. Just do the best of YOUR ability…you don’t want to get placed into a higher class if your not at that level…</p>

<p>Was it anything like the ap spanish exam or was it more difficult (even though there’s no listening section)?</p>
