AP Spanish... in one month!

<p>As I've mentioned in a few threads, my AP Spanish class is quite worthless. Last week we reviewed the present tense... I'm pretty sure I knew more Spanish in Spanish 1 than I do now. </p>

<p>Anyway, I made a mistake and signed up for the AP exam. I need a 5 (the reasons for this high standard are numerous), so, for those who took it last year, what do you recommend I do?</p>

<p>Basically, I need a study schedule... and fast! Obviously, there's only one month left for me to relearn 4 years of Spanish. I think I can do it, but I need some help. </p>

<p>The materials I have so far basically conclude of Barron's 501 Spanish Verbs, some grammar books, and a worthless prep book I bought from my teacher that was insanely expensive (like $75!) and not at all helpful. </p>

<p>My plan? Don't have one as of now, but here's what I'm thinking:
-15 verbs a night (simply memorize them)-- at that speed I should finish all 501 by the time of the exam
-Relearn all the tenses that will appear on the exam
-Read one news article in Spanish every day, highlighting unfamiliar vocabulary (and making flashcards for that vocab)
-Build vocabulary base to about 4,000 words (maybe 50 new words per day?) using a frequency dictionary
-Take a practice exam every Saturday until the test</p>

<p>So, if I do all of that do you think a 5 is achievable?</p>

<p>Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Yes but listening is what you need to worry about more. Also, your schedule sounds great, but isn’t idealistic. Will you be able to remember all 501 verbs at the end without going over them multiple times over the course of 4 weeks?</p>
