Pardon duplicate postings.

Can anyone recommend an oral Spanish proficiency test for heritage &
native speaker adults?  Preferrably something like the LAS-O that
includes vocabulary and a story retelling.

To be honest, I find the 7-12th grade Spanish LAS-O quite applicable to
adults, and it was normed on native speakers.  But I imagine that one
argument against using it is that it was written for and normed on young
people in grades 7-12.   The Prueba de ubicacion also says that it is
for middle & high school students.

Your suggestions are most appreciated,

 Thanks,
