SPANISH Subject Test October 2012

<p>Hi Everyone!</p>

<p>I thought I would start up a Spanish Subject Test forum para todos que hablen espanol, or people who just took the test out of the blue.</p>

<p>What I noticed about this particular test was that the readings, advertisements, and the fill-in-the-blank paragraph were much easier than the practice tests I took to prepare for the test. Usually, I have the most trouble with the fill-in-the-blank paragraph, because of the tricky grammatical situations, but this test wasn’t actually that bad. </p>

<p>However, the part I usually do the best at, the (first) sentence completion part, actually was pretty difficult. There were some definite grammatical and vocab pitfalls.</p>

<p>So, anyone care to share some problems?</p>

<p>Here are some of the problems I remember having trouble on:</p>

<p>1) a problem with the answer choices being “buzon” (mailbox) “cartero” (mailman)
2) a problem with a lot of “p” answer choices. “posar” “pasar” etc. I think it was about some sort of architecture?
3) a por/para question-- somewhat like “lo me gusta ___ su talento increible”</p>

<p>Assorted stuff:</p>

<ul>
<li>A sentence included the phrase “echar a…” the answer is llorar— I will cry when i see you</li>
<li>I discovered that “ramo” refers to a bouquet, so the answer for the sentence is “flores”</li>
<li>There were a few interesting passages in this test, including one about tomatos and potatos, and another about EARTH university</li>
</ul>
