<p>For those of you who got your scores, how did you fare? How did you think you did? How do you think the removal of the fill in the blanks affected the test? Discuss!</p>
<p>got a 5. (native speaker) nothing special
got a 4 on the french though, which still has the fill-ins :(</p>
<p>I haven’t gotton it yet, but I anticipate a 4. The writing and speaking were super easy, listening medium, and some of the reading was pretty hard. I only took Spanish 1,3, and AP though, and I am not native.</p>
<p>i got a 5 and am completely non native and flabbergasted. i was legit so shocked that i had the computer repeat it like three times. I was praying for a 4, but was preparing myself for a 3 so this was a real treat. the day of the actual test i thought the listening and writing went well but most of the speaking felt like a bust. </p>
<p>when i first heard about the fill in removal it was about three days before the test and i was NOT pleased, especially since grammar is my strong suit. but the fact that all they did was allot more time to writing made it worth it i think. how did you do, OP?</p>
<p>^i got a 4 but i’m native speaker LOL. not a very strong native speaker; i briefly picked it up when my dad spoke it but i do have that advantage. i’m still satisfied though. : D</p>
<p>the mc went fairly well but i had a bit of trouble on the doll passage. the synthesis essay went well, the short essay so-so but the stimulated conversation kind of sucked. the formal speaking part went pretty badly. my intro was awesome but the rest was…meh. </p>
<p>i wonder how the curve was…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Same here, but I only took the first semester of Spanish 1 and the second semester of Spanish 3. </p>
<p>Pretty sure I got a 5.</p>
<p>I got a 4, but I was happy with that considering that I’m not a native speaker. I thought the multiple choice section was fairly easy, with the writing section being a little bit harder and the speaking section being extremely difficult, especially formal speaking. Anyway, it would have been cool if I had gotten a 5, but it turns out that I get the same amount of credit for a 4 as I would for a 5.</p>
<p>I got a 3 and I’m fine with it. My FL requirement in college would have been fulfilled with a 3 the same way it would with a 5. It won’t effect my admissions either.</p>
<p>i’m gonna be a senior and the ap exams aren’t until the spring. can i take them and get college credit for them or do i need to let them know when i’m applying? i want to take the spanish and french exams.</p>
<p>5, non-native speaker, 6 semesters of Spanish prior to the AP Lang. test. </p>
<p>I’m glad the informal speaking was a simple prompt that didn’t contain any curveballs as it has in previous years; all other response sections were straightforward and left plenty to discuss. The multi-choice questions were relatively easy with the exception of the crab/doll passage (I still can’t figure that one out very well :P). </p>
<p>Even thought the CB no longer utilizes the ‘old’ form with grammar blanks, I think that the ‘new’ format provides students an even better opportunity to display higher-level grammar and vocabulary structures, since a significant portion of the test is no longer confined to one-line responses. This can work either for or against the student - it truly depends on the individual’s skills, but without a doubt it’s a wise idea to learn advanced diction & structures and practical phrases.</p>
