In order to allow students with like-exposure to compete with each other, NSE has defined seven levels as follows:

¨   Level 01 Entry level for any program where the course content is equivalent to the first half of first year high school Spanish.  (Grade 7 and some Grade 6 programs)

¨   Level 1 Second year for JHS / MS students where the course content is equivalent to the second half of first year high school Spanish.  (Grade 8) or Entry level for any program where the course content is equivalent to a full year of high school Spanish.  (Grades 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12)

¨   Level 2 Second level of high school Spanish.  (Grades 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12)

¨   Level 3 Third level of high school Spanish.  (Grades 9, 10, 11 or 12)

¨   Level 4 Fourth level of high school Spanish.  (Grades 10, 11 or 12)

¨   Level 5 Fifth level of high school Spanish.  (Grades 11 or 12)

¨   Level 6 Sixth level of high school Spanish.  (Grade 12)

Note: If your program does not fit the above model, please describe your program in an e-mail and send it to Stana Sukunda, Director of Test Administration.
