<p>I am currently in my sophomore year (although I live in canada so we call it grade 10 lol), and i havent yet taken any spanish courses. im going to (hopefully) earn my gr 10 spanish credit over the summer, and then take spanish next year. i possibly might be doing a summer exchange to spain next summer, and ill be taking extra spanish lessons at a college, as well as self-studying. is it reasonable to expect to be able to receive a 5 on the AP spanish lang exam in my senior year?</p>
<p>AP spanish lang. is one of the hardest AP. unless you are fluent, it's very hard to get a 5. i recommend taking a class, not self-study</p>
<p>well that sucks. but i will be taking classes in school and extracurricularly. as well as possibly studying abroad in spain for at least a summer. i doubt ill reach fluency level, but i hope that helps?</p>
<p>As stated above, AP Spanish is haarrddddd. You basically need to know spanish as if it were your primary language. Good luck, you will need it.</p>
<p>how comforting. hahaha</p>
<p>If you are good at learning languages quickly, I would say that you have a good shot at a 4. Studying abroad will help a lot, it is the best practice using Spanish and there are no other options in a foreign country. Good luck.</p>
<p>Studying abroad in a foreign country would help. A lot. If you spend enough time there (a semester?), I'm sure you, someone with an actual interest int he language, could tune your ear onto native speeds and such. With that, and some grammar study, I think you can def. get a 4.</p>
<p>I'm thinking about self-studying Spanish too. This is such an encouraging thread! Ermmm....not. I've taken Spanish three but this is making me so nervous. Maybe take lessons with a teacher? One on one time would totally help (I think). That's what I might do.</p>
<p>okay thanks for all your opinions. im less assured, but at least i know i have to work hard lol.</p>
