What are the Spanish Subject Tests? There are two different Spanish Subject Tests, the traditional Spanish Subject Test and the newer Spanish with Listening Subject Test. Both SAT Spanish Subject Tests are hour-long , multiple choice exams that are suppossed to measure your knowledge of Spanish. Why should you take a Spanish Subject Test? One good reason is that one of the colleges to which you are applying either requires or strongly recommends you take several different SAT Subjects Tests. In this case, you will want to make sure you pick the three subjects that best demonstrate your academic achievement. When should you take a Spanish subject Test? These tests are appropriate for students who have completed a minimum of two years of high school Spanish or the equivalent, but are more often taken by students who have completed or are in the middle of their third year of high school spanish. The second thing that you need to decide is whether to take the Spanish Subject Test or the Spanish with Listening Subject Test. The Subject Test is given five times each year: October, December, January, May and June. The Spanish with Listening Subject Test is given only once each year, in November. |
