#we're mainly focusing on preterit

[fungusqueen]

my spanish class is going to have an exam to wrap up the pre-holiday season and I had questions about the exam, whether it would be open-book (because it's online) etc.

this is a language school and we don't get grades or degrees; it's purely learning so I was also wondering what the purpose of the exam was because some exams are for standardized placement (which would be necessary to advance to the next level)

and the teacher's initial response was to be like "don't worry, it won't be that difficult..." and then he gave some examples of new concepts that WOULDN'T be on the test....but I'm over here like wtf I WANT a hard test AND I want to get tested on new concepts! Because otherwise, what the fuck am I paying for? so now I'm wondering what the hell this test will be AND is the teacher just trying to be kind and reassuring or is this test going to be a waste of time? I'm definitely going to study and idk about anyone else in the class but I'm just trying to be bilingual

EDIT: this is my first time in a language school so it's definitely a whole new experience and I don't know what to expect!
