<p>^ how did you estimate your grade?</p>
<p>I think I got 40/70 on mc
4 on the conversation
2 on the presentation
4 on the interpersonal writing
3 on the compare thing</p>
<p>good for a 3? these are my conservative estimate.</p>
<p>I thought the listening MC was hard where they don’t have the questions written down, cause you don’t know what specifics to pay attention to and they don’t give you time to read the questions beforehand. So I ended up guessing quite a bit. xD</p>
<p>I think I might have messed up some other stuff too. Oh well. A 4 would be nice but watch me get like a 2. Lol I’m actually not sure how these are graded Ap-style.</p>
<p>Do what HBSoph said; take what you got, divided by total, multiply by its percentage and then 150.</p>
<p>or use this: <a href=“http://it.stlawu.edu/~rgol/AP-Spanish/Practice%20Exam%20Scoring%20Worksheet.xls[/url]”>http://it.stlawu.edu/~rgol/AP-Spanish/Practice%20Exam%20Scoring%20Worksheet.xls</a></p>
<p>For me the writing was by far the easiest part, but that’s always been my strong area in both Spanish and English (non-native Spanish speaker). Plus the topics were things that I could easily go on about for a while if I had the time to, so that just made it easier.</p>
<p>The speaking was surprisingly easy. I was worried about the conversation part, but I managed to get the task done (albeit without all the fluff necessary to consistently use up the full 20 seconds). I think I at least did well enough to pass that section. The formal speaking portion was an odd topic, but it was easy to talk about for me so I only stumbled a couple of times. The only thing I’m concerned about is the fact that I stopped about five seconds before the final tone. Will that affect anything?</p>
<p>I think the listening is what got me. A couple of the recordings were talking faster than the practice exams I’ve done, and as a result I missed some of what they said. The addition of background noise didn’t help at all.</p>
<p>I think the reading went better than the listening for me, but the fact that we had no access to a clock in the room to pace ourselves led to me (and everyone else when I talked to them afterward) rushing to make sure I’d finished. Hopefully I didn’t rush too much.</p>
<p>Overall, I think I at least did well enough for a 3. Maybe a 4 if the curve’s generous. I’m just glad it’s done at this point, since this was the exam I was most worried about.</p>
<p>w00t I definitely got a 3 at least if that’s accurate at all!</p>
<p>That spreadsheet that Shaytarded posted put me at ease a bit. I know I did at least well enough to get a 3 using that curve, but I guess we’ll all find out in a few months.</p>
<p>Our room didn’t have a digital clock! and I was placed in the very back so I couldn’t even read the analog clock. ANd when I take tests I like to keep watching the clock so I lost track of time. Blah!
But I think I got a 4, definitely a 3 
I hope everyone did well!</p>
<p>The hardest part for me was probably between the reading and formal speaking sections. I’m not a fast reader so I kind of just skimmed over the passages and “looked up” the answers. Formal speaking would have been easier if there was more to really compare/contrast. I felt like I was summarizing, and then the beep cut me off…</p>
<p>Overall not bad, though. Does anyone know when the results come back?</p>
<p>My teacher has been giving us practice test for 3 months straight, and this test was a lot easier than I expected! Thank god hahah. But it was still hard! I thought the last listening section was REALLY hard, they were just speaking so fast. Reading was alright, writing was good, speaking was decent. Hoping for a 3 at least, last night I was so scared this would be my first failed AP test!</p>
<p>AND also, we had technical problems with listening… the sound would get really quiet so we missed parts of some sections and some questions as well, and then when that happened the proctor would jack the volume up so it was painfully shrill in our ears… well… that’s just 1 part of 4 so hopefully everything else went okay haha.</p>
<p>@fantasiekey, I usually get my AP scores the first week of July!</p>
<p>Wow, July is a long time from now! But then again I’ll have finals and summer homework to keep me busy…</p>
<p>Wow i hope that spreadsheet is accurate.</p>
<p>Being conservative, I got a 5 according to that spread sheet… I hope to god it’s accurate…</p>
<p>Guys the listening was really hard for me. Im asian (so no native speaking) and i just couldn’t understand the dream guy or the one about chocolate…</p>
<p>In my class, whenever we would do the formal presentations, I would also run out of time so I talked really fast and then there was like 45 seconds left… But I didn’t have a timer so I said Adi</p>
<p>I thought the test was alright. I have taken 4 years (5 levels) of Spanish, but I didn’t have a class this year. I studied earlier in the year but within the past two months I have been focusing on my other APs. Going into the test, I thought the reading and writing would be easiest. Was I totally wrong about the reading… I understand probably half of those passages. I thought the writing was the easiest, however. Speaking was fun. Listening was alright. </p>
<p>Not that worried about my score for this. I had not invested a fraction of the time into Spanish that I put into my other APs!</p>
<p>All in all, I would be surprised if I got a 4 and upset if I got a 2. We shall see!</p>
<p>@samhsuy I’m a non-native and I struggled on the listening too. I barely heard any of the thing on chocolate and the dodo bird presentation was awful. What did you think of the rest of the test?</p>
<p>Mostly everything was easy for me, although I did believe the listening was a little challenging.</p>
<p>One thing that’s bothering me though is that I read the letter writing prompt incorrectly. I guess I just completely skipped over the words “mejor amigo/a” and I wrote to my older sibling who was graduating instead -__-</p>
<p>Still hoping for a 4 on the exam, but I don’t know at this point. The rest of my free response was half-decent at least.</p>
<p>I did the EXACT same thing as knoxisawesome348. I completely missed the part about the “mejor amigo/a” and wrote to my older sibling instead. </p>
<p>How much will this cost me? I think my letter was pretty good, but don’t know how much the proper addressing of the prompt factors into the score. I’ll be so upset with myself if I get a 2 because I misread the prompt. </p>
<p>Otherwise, reading was fantastic, listening was horrific (but answers were somewhat easy to make an educated guess) essay was good, conversation was alright, formal speaking was good. All I want is to pass!</p>
<p>i honestly lucked out and somehow was able to write my whole presentational speaking down and just read it for 2 minutes and i finished just on time. I prob sound like a pro but it was all luck. i think i was like hyped up and my adrenaline rush helped a ton</p>
<p>Multiple choice was much easier than the practice questions I did on my own (Barron’s). Loved the music in the background of the listening passages. Informal writing was a breeze since I’m in the situation they described . I hated the presentational writing prompt; I couldn’t relate to it, and it was awkward to discuss since all of the sources focused on the computer. I blew the interpersonal speaking. To quote myself, “Me gusta trabajor con ninos porque…porque…porque…<em>tape beeps</em>” I couldn’t think of a respsone fast enough, but the ones after that went better. Presentational speaking was a relief; I was hyped up enough on adrenaline that I was able to just take notes the whole time and phrase them into coherent sentences during the task. I finished a second before it ended too, so hopefully I did alright. Overall, I’m hoping 4, guessing 3, which I would still be happy with, as last year, only 1 non-native speaker out of 15 from my school who took the test passed.</p>
