1. Provide time for students to complete the Online Practice Examinations from previous years.

REQUIRED:  The online practice of last year's exam must be conducted prior to this year's testing in order

(1) to allow teachers, students, and school computer technicians the opportunity to see a sample version of the online exam
(2) to determine if there are any problems with technology prior to test day. 

Teachers who do not do this step run the risk of having problems on test day.

2. Use the Online Practice Exercises as part of general computer lab or home practice throughout the school year.

There are online exercises assessing
(1) achievement of the specifications for vocabulary and specifications for grammar
(2) proficiency in reading and listening.

3. Integrate into curriculum all specifications for vocabulary and specifications for grammar. 

The NSE Test Development Committee has developed the National Spanish Exam Vocabulary Lists as supplements for teachers who wish to use them with their classes to broaden their curriculum.  The National Spanish Exam Vocabulary Lists are an excellent resource in preparing students for the vocabulary section of the achievement test.
