Our nearly 10,000 members are educators from PreK-12 through graduate school who endorse our mission to promote, develop, and advance the teaching of Spanish and Portuguese worldwide.  \nThe mission of the AATSP Exams program is to recognize student achievement and to promote language proficiency in the studies of Spanish & Portuguese. To this end, the AATSP Exams office is committed to providing Teachers with assessment tools and offering Students opportunities to know their language s kill ratings in vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, and listening comprehension.  \nAbout The National Spanish Exam ( NSE)  \nThe National Spanish Exam (NSE) is an online, motivational competition that recognizes, stimulates, and promotes students’ linguistic competence and proficiency in Spanish. In addition to the contest, the NSE is a standardized online assessment for grades 6-12, that measures both content standards (vocabulary and grammar) and performance standards ( reading and listening comprehension). This tool provides valuable feedback on the students’ proficiency, monitoring and tracking their progress and development each year.  \nIndividual results are available immediately, and national results are usually released during the first week of May. Students who place above the 75th percentile at the national level are able to receive medals (gold, silver, bronze, honorable mention) and are eligible to apply for several types of scholarships. Medals are shipped directly to schools at no additional cost, and usually arrive within 4-8 weeks after national results are released.  \nTeachers receive individual reports for each student disaggregating data in various ways so that they may identify strengths and weaknesses of individual students for specific standards, measurement categories, learner outcomes, show growth from one year to the next, and/or report other variables as needed. Teachers who administer the NSE are also eligible to apply for a variety of awards and scholarships.  \nRegistration Dates: Examination Window:  \n November 1, 2024-February 7, 2025  March 3-April 14, 2025  \nAbout This Booklet  \nIn this booklet, you will find the updated Format & Length chart, the updated Grammar and Vocabulary specifications of the 2024-25 National Spanish Exam ( NSE), and access to other resources related to exam registration and administration.  \n(219) 295-1491  \n [nse@aatsp.org](nse@aatsp.org)  \n [www.nationalspanishexam.org](www.nationalspanishexam.org)  \nNATIONAL SPANISH EXAM  \nExam Format and Length  \nUpdated for 2025  \nEach level has two sections of tests: (1) Achievement is 40 minutes total and includes two subsections: Vocabulary and Grammar.
