Capture Foreign Language Proficiency

Please note that as of January 2021, The College Board has discontinued SAT Subject Tests® and SAT® essay.

Those crazy homeschoolers, learning things like Spanish before high school!
Hey, it can happen, and it’s not a bad thing at all!

If you find that your child has completed some foreign language before high school, it might be helpful to take a subject test.  Let me use Spanish, for an example. If your child has already learned Spanish, what can you do next?

•  Consider an SAT subject test in Spanish: Spanish with Listening Test
• This is the study guide I would suggest for Spanish:  Cracking the SAT Spanish Subject Test, 2013-2014 Edition
• You can read about the test here: http://professionals.collegeboard.com/testing/sat-subject/about
• You can take a sample test here: http://sat.collegeboard.org/practice/sat-subject-test-preparation
• This might be a good investment for finding information on other SAT Subject Tests: The Official Study Guide for ALL SAT Subject Tests 

There are two other kinds of subject tests that are more challenging. These are actually college level exams.

1. The AP exam is sort of an honors level essay test. The AP Spanish Language and Culture Exam
2. Or you could consider the Computer-based CLEP Exam for Spanish CLEP Spanish Language Test
