Another Spanish Level Test

For those of you interested in evaluating your Spanish language proficiency, this online Spanish level test is geared to give you a ballpark idea of just how good your Spanish is. While I have never found such tests to be accurate predictors of level of fluency, they can be useful tools in helping you to spot holes in your understanding of the Spanish language to allow you to better address any deficiencies. So if you would like to evaluate your own proficiency level, or maybe you are just interested in practicing your Spanish, why not have a go at this Spanish Level Test?

Ok I had to stop at the Intermediate level 1. Here are my results: The intial: I scored 8 out of 10. I missed question 3 and 4. For question 3 I put "se gusta" and it should have been "le gusta" and for question 4 I put "viste" and it should have been "se viste". For the elementary section I scored 7 out of 10. I missed questions 6, 7, and 8. I put "tan divertido de" instead of "tan divertido como" for question 6, I put "tenía" instead of "pasé" for question 7, and finally for question 8 I put "encontraban" instead of "encontraba". Now the Intermediate: I scored 8 out of 10. Note: I had to look up some of the words such as: "anulara" from the verb "anular" which means annual (duh!!!), "marcharemos" from the verb "marhcar" which means go, walk, toil, tramp (meaning to tramp around on a walk), track, etc. I missed questions 7 and 8. I put "hay" and it should've been "haya" for question 7. For question 8 I put "irán" and it should have been "vayan". I hope this gets the thread started and I hope it's not too much information!! If so, do erase what you want to Izan, no worries. wink Great site and post!!

Did you find the explanations helpful that the site provided for wrong answers or was there still any doubt or confusion in your mind as to the correct answers? - Izanoni1, Jul 28, 2010
The explanations were very helpful. I do know that I have a lot to work on!! Thanks for the site again! :) - Jason7R, Jul 28, 2010

Very nice test, Izan, how did you do? jeje

IN any case, way to go, this is a test which actually does not simply "rate" but which gives explanations and does not allow you to pass onto the next level unless you pass the previous one.

I just clicked on "test now" and got, oh so sorry, jeje, but I could see the answers, extremely useful and very helpful. I suggest everybody do the test for learning, not for being "rated".

I reached the second intermediate level but struggled with the advanced levels questions and only got two correct lol red face Oh well.. back to learning

I have to admit that I had to re sit one of the intermediate level tests but scored more highly on the second attempt after learning from my mistakes. tongue wink grin I did also score 8/10 for 2nd Intermediate level so that did encourage me lol (Mind you, it wouldn't be considered scientifically valid unless i could repeat them all and achieve exactly the same results lol) tongue wink

Some of the questions seemed more complex and therefore challenging than for other Spanish tests like Cervantes or the BBC website even at the early stages. Or is that only my own perception of them???

We are all on a journey and this is a learning curve so I try to keep a balanced perspective and t to not become too discouraged by my mistakes. After all, these tests are only a guideline to, not an exact indication of, our linguistic ability/abilities. I did get 35 points up to Intermediate level 2 so I was encouraged while recognizing there remained much room for improvement lol tongue rolleye

If I were to be totally honest I struggled at times to understand some of the explanations for why I failed to gain a correct mark for some of the questions

Right...I would just treat these mistakes as an opportunity to brush up on these specific topics :) - Izanoni1, Jul 28, 2010

Me da tanta vergüenza! Solamente pasé "Elementary." Most of my problems were minor issues with conjugations. As someone else said, back to learning.

¡Qué pena! No has conseguido superar el nivel Intermedio II. Has tenido 5 respuestas correctas de 10, y necesitabas al menos 8. Puntos acumulados: 33

I'm usually pretty good at Spanish tests but I know where I always fall down. "La forma de Usted!" angry. I dread it. I could whinge and complain about it all day but it wouldn't do me any good.

Great test, Iza - thanks a lot.

10/10 on Beginner 7/10 on Elemental 5/10 on Intermediate I.

I got question 1 (haya), 4 (gustaría), 6. (anulara), 7 (haya), and 8 (vayan) wrong. I need to learn the imperfect subjunctive :(

I should have got #8, I was reading about adverbial conjunctions the other day.

I believe this is a different website you are posting. Barcelona IH school? I took that one too and received a Low Intermediate "score" after 50 questions. I plan to go back!! :) - Jason7R, Jul 29, 2010

Very nice test, Izan, how did you do? jeje

My Results:

Parece ser que tú nivel actual es INTERMEDIO II.

On the advanced test, there were a couple of idiomatic expressions that I was not familiar with, but I was able to guess the correct phrase to complete them based on what idea I felt the idiom was trying to convey based on the context.

All in all, I found the test fairly helpful in showing me some of the weakness in my understanding. After taking the test, I realized that there were a couple of areas that I thought I had down but see that I need to work on.

Tests are just a way for other people to ordain what your worth is.

Only if you allow that to happen!! ;) I am not big on tests but this was actually fun. - Jason7R, Jul 28, 2010
As I said before, I don't place much value in tests in relation to there use as a rating system; however, if used as a study aid, they can help you find holes in your understanding so that you might better focus your study time. - Izanoni1, Jul 28, 2010
Bien hecho, Izan :) - Jason7R, Jul 28, 2010
No need for swearing fred, you dont like the test, just don¡t do it. - 00494d19, Jul 28, 2010
Erm, since when is that word a swear word? lol It was just a joke. - Fredbong, Jul 28, 2010
jejeje...Don't you just hate it when your humor is overlooked because of the limitations of the printed word :) - Izanoni1, Jul 28, 2010

Thanks for the Test. Got through the first level OK. Didn't know they had all sorts of rules for tan, and I don't remeber what other things. Useful explanations. good site. Someday, I may advance to intermediate.
