Before attempting to take AP italian not much info was out there and no one really replied to my last discussion so i hope to help at least one of the 2k people who take this exam a year. I took AP italian of course every class is different but in general the class went very well and had a large focus on talking more then any other aspect.KEEP UP AND DO LEARN THE NEW VOCAB YOU’RE INTRODUCED! i slacked off at first and later had to make up for the vocab i didnt know or conjugations i never used. In reality i only used the present, passato prossimo and imperfect on the exam it is also nice to have other tenses like the future and the conditional in your tool box. Even with my slacking off i received a 5 on the exam(although i bit of my Spanish slipped out during the recording) it’s really not hard you just have to be comfortable even if wrong to respond back and use context clues
