How to Write a Spanish Test
Since Spanish is rapidly becoming the second language of this country, if a student is required to take a foreign language, Spanish is the recommended language to take. Writing a Spanish test is not the same as writing other tests. Since Spanish is a foreign language, you need to test the student on verbal as well as written work. Read on to understand how to write a Spanish test.

Choose the type of questions you will use for the vocabulary questions. You could make a list of words on one side of the paper and a list on the other side and have the students match them or put them into multiple choice or fill in the blank questions. These can be done in Spanish and English or all in Spanish.

Put in reading passages in Spanish and have the students translate them to English or ask them questions about the passages in Spanish having them answer in Spanish or English--you decide. Some of this will depend on the level of the Spanish course.

Have an oral part. Reading is only one part of the test. Students not only have to be able to read and understand what they are reading, but they also have to be able to speak the language and understand what they are hearing. Therefore, you have to test them orally as well as written. The oral part should be done completely in Spanish.
