Instructions for Students
The Department of Spanish requires all students with previous language study, as well as native and heritage speakers, to complete an online computer-adaptive language placement test to determine the appropriate course for beginning language study at The College of Idaho. The placement test takes approximately 20-30 minutes, depending on your level. It should be completed before meeting with your advisor to discuss enrollment.
To take the test, follow these instructions:
-
Log on to any computer and enter the following web address in your browser: http://bit.ly/2MXB9g9
-
Create a free account and then sign in using the same credentials
-
Select the appropriate test: Spanish
-
Take the pre-test survey about your language background
-
Then take the placement test. Read the directions and complete the test to the best of your ability
-
Each student should take the test only once. The first placement test score will determine the entrance level in the language; other scores will be discarded.
Please note: The College of Idaho is a community of integrity; therefore, we seek to promulgate a community in which honesty is valued, expected, and practiced. Please refrain from cheating, or any misrepresentation on this exam. Use of dictionaries, the internet, or other language aids is not allowed. -
When you finish your test, print a copy (or take a picture/screencap) of the score page to bring to your meeting with your advisor. Your advisor will verify your correct placement in a Spanish course and approve you for registration. You should be able to enroll in the advised course on Self-Service directly, without completing an Add/Drop slip.
If you have additional questions about language placement, please contact the Spanish Department Chair Jennie Daniels.
