Spanish Placement Test

The placement exam in Spanish is an online multiple-choice format exam; it consists of questions on communication, grammar, reading and listening comprehension. There is no oral part to the exam. Since it is a computer-adaptive test, the length varies from one individual to another, with the average time being one hour and 30 minutes. Please supply all the information required by the Language Background part before the test starts and read/follow the given instructions.

The scores and the language background data will be used to place students into the appropriate level of Spanish. The test is only for course placement to determine the student's proficiency in Spanish. No credit will be given. To receive the credits for intermediate levels students need to take the Spanish Proficiency Exam. The Spanish Placement test helps instructors balance their classes with students at the same level and at the same time, it helps faculty advisors to plan educational programs.
