| PLEASE READ ALL THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS VERY CAREFULLY! |
Welcome to the ESIA Diagnostic Testing homepage at The George Washington University. This diagnostic exam rates your grammar, lexical, and functional knowledge of Spanish. It gives you an orientation as to your general skill level, and it helps determine whether additional language study is needed prior to taking the Spanish Language Exit exam (reading and oral proficiency). Thus, it does NOT replace the Exit exam that you need to take in order to fulfill your school’s requirement
