<p>If at orientation you take the Spanish Placement Exam and place into Spanish 6, does this mean you place out of the foreign language requirement? My DPR still says my foreign language requirement is still required though! Ugh.</p>
<p>if you place into 4 or higher, then you place out of the FL requirement.</p>
<p>That's what I thought. So I don't know why my DPR still says it's required!</p>
<p>It probably is a mistake. Most of my group placed out of language req, but our dprs say otherwise. When you meet with the counselor or whatever, you could tell him/her if it's still there or you have questions</p>
<p>I never got a report of my results or anything either... The proctor said the score would automatically be sent to URSA...</p>
<p>UCLAmy,</p>
<p>I have a friend who is planning on taking the spanish placement exam, and not having taken it myself I was wondering if you could tell me what sort of things they asked...is it purely multiple choice? Essay? More emphasis on vocab? Grammar?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>UCLAmy, i believe u can get ur scores by email or something. during the math placement exam they told us how to get the actual score. i dont know if it was announced before ur spanish test... but anyways they grade it right away and the results are in the next day.</p>
<p>Yeah, I already know my score. It's just it didn't show up on my DPR.</p>
<p>shebsmehr, the placement exam is cake. It's done on the computer in the computer lab. There are very short reading passages and reading comp, very few vocab, and I would say the emphasis is on grammar. Know subjunctive! I'm really good at subjunctive so I'm pretty sure I got all of those right, while I didn't know the answer to the question, "Which is not a part of a tree?" and they listed vocab words. Hahaha</p>
<p>UCLAmy,</p>
<p>How long is the exam? I'm guessing only an hour?</p>
<p>exam takes 15-20 mins</p>
<p>I think it just takes a while for the results to show up on the DPR. I tested out of it too and its not on mine yet. I also took coursework at a community college which hasn't appeared.</p>
<p>I think it just takes time for these things to be processed.</p>
<p>Hey ULCAmy (or anybody else I suppose),
You mentioned that a lot of it was on grammar, do they ask you to fill in the correct verb conjugation, and how are the questions formatted?
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>Sorry for all the pestering but I have been stressing out over this exam all summer. I didn't exactly have the best spanish teachers in HS (I'm sure others can relate) and I have been trying to learn the language over summer. Every little bit helps. Thanks a bunch.</p>

<p>My d tested into level 5 spanish at orientation 101, and her dpr still says "required" too.
After orientation, my d went to murphy hall counseor about other stuff but the counselor brought up to her that if span placement test results are not on dpr by end of 1st qtr, d shoud go to Spanish dept and "get a printout of test results and bring it to Murphy Hall". Apparently, this is a frequent/known issue. D has friends who are sophs who don't have the language requirement showing fulfilled on the dpr yet.</p>
<p>In the same vein, if you took and scored above a 550 on the SATII C Math test, quanitative reasoning requirement should be saying "fulfilled". My d's dpr still said required so she took her copy of her SAT report (which was submitted ontime to UCLA for her app last fall) to orientation and orientation counselor got it changed for her. Perhaps that was just an error, as her other requirements she had already fulfilled like writing I were marked fulfilled.</p>
