<p>Wooo AP Spanish. How was it for all you who already took the test?</p>
<p>It was brutal. Just got out. But it was what we expected. Some parts were easy, some parts were the complete opposite. Overall, I have no idea how i did, whether good or bad.</p>
<p>i agree, it was brutal. I was confident on the writing portion, but the presentational speaking and the listening killed me. i am pretty sure that i didnt pass this lol</p>
<p>All I want to say is my teacher prepared us for the old exam, not the new one (okay, maybe I should have studied on my own so I could have realized this) and that my recorder stopped recording halfway through the simulated conversation. Oh well.</p>
<p>I know I passed I’m just unsure as to what kind of pass. The only thing I felt I did BAD on was the formal oral presentation.</p>
<p>i thought i wan going to do best on reading comprehension, but those passages seemed harder than the practice ones…</p>
<p>how do you think the removal of the fill in the blanks is going to affect the curve?</p>
<p>it was… inexplicably scary. like literally, the oral presentation left me squeaking like a mouse and jumping at the sound of a knock on the door. then i decided to go and doubt that i actually recorded my voice and then i thought i had to re-do the whole horrible thing. shudder…i’m glad its over though. i just woke up from a long nap and am having tea and am going to forget about the test after this post. or try to anyway.</p>
<p>Mmm I dunno, to me those fill in the blanks weren’t that hard. But it might lower it just a bit because if they removed it altogether that must mean people must have found it hard. I agree with the person above me who said the reading passages were a bit more difficult than my practice.</p>
<p>^i thought the fill in the blanks were supposedly the easiest, and the reason they removed it was because they wanted to reduce the time?</p>
<p>Oh I was just speculating :P. Now I know the real reason haha</p>
<p>I really wish there had still been fill in the blanks… I wouldn’t have minded the extra 15 minutes or whatever. </p>
<p>Bombed presentational speaking 
But I have no idea how to feel about the test as a whole.</p>
<p>EDIT: My teacher went to an AP conference and she said that all the teachers cheered when they announced that they were removing it from the test… she implied that these teachers thought it was difficult, because she was certainly disappointed that it was being eliminated.</p>
<p>did anyone accidentally write their formal essay on the 2nd and 3rd pages of the interpersonal writing section…i did that and i feel horrible. on the next page (the first page of the formal writing blank area) i wrote “Written on two previous pages”
man i’m so worried about that, the rest of the test went pretty well for me but that was such a boneheaded mistake, it can’t possibly cost me the entire 20% of my grade on that section, can it?</p>
<p>Surprisingly, I did far better in the oral presentation than expected. I really screwed up in the simulated conversation though, I answered the wrong prompt by accident at one point and ended up sounding like an idiot</p>
<p>oh man good luck to you guys.</p>
<p>ahh i hope the curve is easy! does anyone know? i’m freaking out. it was so hard (the recordings we had to do especially)</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure everyone on the planet thought that presentational speaking was at least harder than expected, if not HARD AS HELL…relax guys, the curve should be pretty generous here</p>
<p>Agreed on the oral presentation. I had absolutely no idea what to say. There was a lot of stammering and repetition on my part. My whole class thought it was hard; glad to see that people here agreed.</p>
<p>I thought the simulated conversation was easy, the formal essay was okay , the short writing was fine, the reading comprehension was fine, and as for the listening, I thought the short dialogues and narratives were difficult and the long passages were easy.</p>
<p>We’ll see how it comes out. My college doesn’t place or give credit for language exams, so it really doesn’t affect me too much – I guess it would just be nice to pass, and I don’t expect anything more than that.</p>
<p>anyone now how many points it is out of? and how you can calculate the points you got?
I mean, we obviously don’t know what the points cut off is for each grade, but still…</p>
<p>and I agree, presentational speaking was HARD. i don’t think i had any relevant information at all…in fact i don’t even know if i was speaking spanish…</p>
<p>My teacher told me it’s graded very holistically… like theres no “oh this student used medium-good vocabulary, but miscongugated a verb, thats blank amount of points” its just a judgement of coherency, vocabulary, grammar, and organization combined. but she may have just said that to make us feel better… as for the multiple choice, i heard 80% corresponds to a medium-high 4</p>
<p>Estoy de acuerdo sobre la presentaci</p>
