Spanish Placement Makeup Exam Information

The departmental second make-up placement examination in Spanish will be given the third day of reading week. The examination will be administered on Wednesday, December 9, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., in room 101 at Linsly-Chittenden Hall.

The placement examination is valid for one year and for this reason, students who took the exam at the beginning of the fall term 2009 will not be eligible to take it on December 9.

All students who have taken one or more years of Spanish in high school are required to take the placement examination before enrolling in a Spanish course at Yale College. All students who wish to enroll in a Spanish course beyond SPAN 110a or 125a and who scored below 5 on an Advanced Placement test in Spanish or below 6 on the International Baccalaureate Advanced-Level exam are required to take the placement examination.

Students who have never studied Spanish and are true beginners of the language will automatically be placed in Level 1. However, please be advised that SPAN 110a is only offered during the fall term but not in the spring term. Students interested in taking L1 Spanish in the spring semester must register for intensive Spanish 125b (L1 and L2). No preregistration is required for Spanish courses.
