One of the first questions on the exam is whether you'd like to take the artificial language test or an actual Spanish proficiency test in its place. If you pass, you'll be exempted from the language portion of the academy.

Actually that isn't correct. After you EOD at the academy, they give you another test. Essentially they have someone telling you a story or something in Spanish, and afterwards you have to tell the story in your own words back. It is done over some sort of phone system. This is done three or four times, with each one becoming progressively more difficult. If you fail this, then you have to take the Spanish course at the academy.

Believe me, I know several people who took college Spanish who passed the written test, but failed the listening/speaking test and had to go through the Spanish training.

Good to know. I had heard that, but was told different. Thanks.

The process has been going rather quickly. I'm pretty surprised, but I'm definitely expecting it to slow down with the background investigation. That's suppose to take a while.
