If there are no dates on the calendar, those sessions are full.
  2. Fill out the Online Prueba de Español Registration Form. Your seat for your chosen test is not guaranteed until your payment is received by the Office of Planning and Policy. You will not be able to take the test if your registration is not paid.
  3. Send your payment with the appropriate fees by check, money order, or school purchase order by the registration deadline of your chosen test date, or call the testing office to request a payment authorization form. The authorization form must be signed by the cardholder and faxed or emailed to the testing office.

Appeals/Grievance Procedures

For appeals related specifically to the Spanish competency test Prueba, the following procedures will be followed. Address the complaint to the Prueba Testing Office.

  • The complaint should contain the name and address of the person(s) filing it and a brief description of the alleged complaint. It should be filed with the testing office within five business days from the date of the alleged complaint.
  • An investigation conducted by the testing office shall follow the filing of a complaint. The investigation should be informal but thorough.
  • A written determination as to the validity of the complaint and a description of the resolution, if any, shall be issued by the testing office and forwarded to the complainant as soon as the investigation is completed. This may take up to three weeks for scoring issues if we need to have the test re-graded by a different grader.
  • The testing office shall maintain the files and records relating to the complaints for a period of one year. Test booklets and response audio files used in the administration of Prueba will be maintained in a secure location for the period of one year. At the end of one year, the test booklets will be shredded and the audio erased.
  • The complainant can request a reconsideration of the case in instances of dissatisfaction with the resolution. The request for reconsideration should be made to the New Mexico Public Education Department within 10 business days of the resolution of the complaint.
  • Test takers will have ninety days (90) from the date they took the exam and/or received the test results in which to file a complaint; any complaint filed after that date will not be accepted.
