<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>
