AP Chinese: Ready for the Technological Nightmare?

<p>Ten bucks half of the time is spent trying to get the test to work...</p>

<p>Are we all ready to face this monster/joke of a test? </p>

<p>What do you think the presentations will be on?</p>

<p>gonna be the same for Japanese... I think.</p>

<p>wo de zhong wen hen hao.</p>

<p>ha ha. wo bu tai hui nian zhong wen.</p>

<p>喔 .</p>

<p>大家准备好了吗?希望我明天会十二点以前考好微积分。</p>

<p>I bet the culture thing's gonna be about either the Spring or Mid Autumn Festival.</p>

<p>ming tian ni (uhh... take?) Calc BC ma? wo men ke yi yong zhong wen jiang kao shi de wen ti :)</p>

<p>lawl.</p>

<p>XDDDD 说的夜市。可惜,我明天是考 Calc AB. 真好。</p>

<p>The only thing in that sentence I understood was "Calc AB" and "good".</p>

<p>Oh, and "tomorrow".</p>

<p>Lawl, you're right. Blame MPY...it works about once every blue moon. I hope the short speaking is actually interesting this time (unlike the one on the practice)</p>

<p>yea, apjap is the same... i understand how to work the computer, but i don't understand japanese.</p>

<p>come tell us japanese takers any computer related things that shocked you.</p>

<p>I'm not taking the AP Chinese, but is there listening on it? I took the SAT II Chinese, and all I remember was stuff like:</p>

<p>Person 1: How do I go to the mall?
Person 2: Please buy my oranges!</p>

<p>and other nonsense like that.</p>

<p>There's listening. As far as I can tell, it's...um, well, pretty straightforward.</p>

<p>Woman: How's that company's new drink?
Man: It's not very good. In fact, drinking it is like drinking sugar water.</p>

<p>The best way to continue this conversation is:
A. Is it that sweet?
B. Is there that much?
C. Is it that fragrant?
D. Is it that salty?</p>

<p>The correct answer is obviously D.</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>This is not nonsense. My parents always ask other Asians to go buy fruit for us whenever they stop by the market -__-;; And I know that they're not the only ones.</p>

<p>Is there writing on the exam? Do you actually have to write using characters or does han yu ping ying work as well?</p>

<p>I think this one requires the use of characters across the board. Pinyin is only available on the SAT II.</p>

<p>man i wish there was a AP Hindi...</p>

<p>I took AP Spanish language and we had a helluva time with the computers not playing the cd's correctly. I am taking the second semester of chinese at a cc, supposdly the 3nd year of hs chinese, but I can't read characters. I have to do everything auditorily and write in pinyin. If I tried to take the test next year, is it only characters?</p>

<p>AP Spanish was a true monster. We had tapes, though, so it wasn't too bad.</p>

<p>Err, you actually choose if you want simplified or traditional characters. You write in pinyin on the keyboard (otherwise I'd fail)</p>
