Print out and submit the Computer System Requirements to the computer/technology department at your school to ensure that your computers have the minimum and recommended system configurations for using Quia, the online company that administers the National Spanish Examinations.


Provide time for students to complete the Online Practice Examination from last year's exam in order

  1. to allow teachers, students, and school computer technicians the opportunity to see a sample version of the online exam
  2. to determine if there are any problems with technology prior to test day.

 

Teachers who do not administer the practice exams run the risk of having problems on test day.

Teachers may utilize the following tools to better prepare their students for the NSE:
  1. Use the Online Practice Exercises as part of general computer lab or home practice throughout the school year.
    1. achievement of the specifications for vocabulary and specifications for grammar
    2. proficiency in reading and listening.

  2. Integrate into curriculum all specifications for vocabulary and specifications for grammar.

    The NSE Test Development Committee has developed the National Spanish Exam Vocabulary Lists as supplements for teachers who wish to use them with their classes to broaden their curriculum. The National Spanish Exam Vocabulary Lists are an excellent resource in preparing students for the vocabulary section of the achievement test.
