AP Spanish question

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm taking AP spanish (4th year) right now, and from what I've heard NO ONE in my school has passed the AP spanish test, though I go to a good school. We weight grades for AP if you take the AP spanish test. I want to take the test for the weighted grade, but I don't want colleges to see it if I do bad so....</p>

<p>1) Do most college applications require official AP scores, or voluntary unofficial reporting? (I know Stanford does the latter)</p>

<p>2) Has anyone done the whole "withhold" thing to keep a college from seeing an AP score? Is it done per test, per college? ($15- that would get pretty spendy)</p>

<p>3) How much studying is required to get a 3 on the AP Spanish Language test if I'm motivated but have had bad teachers this year and last year? I'm willing to put in some time, I just want to know if it's possible...</p>

<p>i am not sure about 1 and 2</p>

<p>but for #3, the AP test is definitely passable, i got a 4, because i messed up the reading but i know a couple kids in my grade got 5's last year. i guess it depends quite a bit on the teacher (mine prepped us really well), but if you use some practice books and do practices test that should help you out. </p>

<p>i dont know how much that helped, but good luck i`m sure you will do fine!</p>
