<p>How hard is AP Spanish?</p>
<p>Any suggestions in how to get a 5 come exam time?</p>
<p>are you talking about ap language or ap literature?</p>
<p>I believe the class is AP Spanish Language.</p>
<p>Well, this year was the last year that the exam with the old format was given. Beginning next year, the test will have a completely different format, and a very difficult one indeed. Good luck with it. Given the difficulty of the new exam, I think the test is going to be one of those aps that are so hard that you only need about 60% to get a 5. In the old exam you would have needed around 77% to score a 5.</p>
<p>bump...I'm interested in this,too..</p>
<p>My teacher made me take some practice questions for the new format and the test was HARD (I'm a native speaker btw)</p>
<p>No, they DIDN'T give the old format this year... we got the BRAND STINKIN' NEW version. I HATED it.</p>
<p>So what exactly makes the test so much more difficult?</p>
<p>well now, for instance, the speaking part consisted of 5 pics that you had two minutes to tell a story about, than 5 random questions that you were given 20 seconds to respond.
Now the new speaking part (if I remember correctly) you have to read and listen to stuff and speak for about ten minutes (say a report) (I have no idea how they expect any non native to do that).
The new writing part will have a section where random words will be omitted, so you'd basically have to know every single idiomatic expression and know your grammar exremely well. Again I don't know how that is humanly possible.</p>
<p>Dude. That is ridiculous and retarded.</p>
<p>If it's as hard as you describe it, I imagine the curve should be like 60% for a 5.</p>
<p>We were discussing this with the AP Spanish Class at my high school, which is predominately made up of non-native speakers. Don't attack me, please. This is just what was discussed:</p>
<p>We were saying that too many native speakers were taking the test and making 5's, too many!! We were at the test and Oklahoma City and every Mexican in the district was taking the AP Spanish Test. Personally, I like the idea of making the exam harder.</p>

<p>Lol vikingmar--it's ok everyone is entitled to her one opinion. I'm also taking french, and I'd also be extremely ****ed if that were my case. However here's the deal, when a native speaker takes a college board exam (SAT II or AP) if they identify themselves as hispanic or native speaker, the college board does not put this individual when they create the curve. (that's why to get a 5 you need need 77% not something like 95%) The new format of the test is redicoulously hard. So i don't know what you're saying, but what ever floats your boat.</p>
<p>P.S. I'm not Mexican.</p>
<p>what got blocked was p i s s e d I don't know why that would get blocked lol</p>
