The exam will take approximately 30 minutes. 

Test scores are no longer sent to anyone via email (to avoid risk of exposing private information). Students will be presented with their results at the end of the test. If they need to see their results again they should log in to the exam, fill in the top part of the survey as they did when they took the exam, and then press the resume button. (This process works if the exam is interrupted - as long as at least one question has been answered).

If you do not believe the test score accurately reflects your abilities, please contact the Department of Romance Languages, 517 Waterman Building, and we will arrange for you to speak with a Spanish professor to best determine what level class you should be in.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
