<p>Hey everyone this is my first post on CC (ever), but I decided to make an account because I'm getting kind of desperate...</p>
<p>I'm taking AP Chinese, but this is my teacher's first year teaching the course, and I'm worried that she doesn't know what she's doing. We have less than two months until the AP test, and I'm kind of freaking out.</p>
<p>I've heard that you need to know culture really well to get a 5 -- I'm pretty confident in my reading and listening skills (I'm sort of a native speaker, but not that good), but when it comes to those 20 second speaking responses, I get really nervous and can't think of anything to say. Also, I know almost no culture.</p>
<p>Any advice on how to prepare (i.e. websites, books, etc.)?</p>
