The National Spanish Examinations are standards-based assessments that measure both achievement and proficiency, but measure them separately.

1. The achievement section of the test assesses content standards through specifications for vocabulary and specifications for grammar.

2. The proficiency section of the test assesses performance standards as defined by the National Spanish Examination Proficiency Levels. The NSE assesses Interpretive Communication through both reading comprehension and listening comprehension.
