Einstufungstest

1) Go to this link: Einstufungstest
2) Select "Test" from the small drop-down menu on the left.
3) Click "weiter" ("continue/further").
4) On the next page, select "Englisch" (or for kicks, some other language you know).
5) Click "Start Demo".
6) Take the test. You're given 25 minutes, but it won't take you that long if you're a native speaker.
7) Once you're done, click the "jetzt abgeben" ("submit now") button at the top of the page.

Okay. Did you try out the test? I'd also just be curious to know how you scored. (It'll be a sum number out of 100 at the end after you click "jetzt abgeben".) Just for the record, I'm a native English speaker, and I only scored around 80-85, having taken the test twice. "Pretty darn good" students of a foreign language are supposed to score in the 70's. I'd like to know what other native speakers score.

If/Once you get the idea, then get this:

I HAVE TO TAKE THIS TEST IN GERMAN TODAY.

.. I feel apprehensive. Drücke mir die Daumen, people!

I scored an 87 in English and a 58 in Spanish. And I honestly feel pretty good about my Spanish score ... I just hope that I don't have to take this test if I want to study abroad! It was difficult ... in English.

¡Buena suerte, amiga!

Haha, thanks for trying it out (and in more than one language). Anyway, at least it's only a placement test sort of thing. You can't really fail, in the end means. (Doesn't mean I wasn't disappointed with my score :D ) .
