<p>So as we all know the exam is in a week from today and I'm freaking out because after looking at a review book, I'm now realizing how horribly prepared my class is for this exam even after 5 years of taking spanish (2 in honors classes). So, how are you guys preparing? Any practice tests out there? What review book should I get? I'm starting my studying tonight but I don't know exactly what there is to study. Oh also, vocab list would be extremely helpful. Our vocab is just so terrible, reading a book in spanish is the worst thing in the world. Writing is my strongest point but speaking...yikes.
I really wanna get a 5 on this cuz many of my spanish teachers have told me that I'm one of the best they've had and it'd be kinda disappointing to me and them if I only got like a 3...</p>
<p>You can’t really just memorize scores of vocab for the test. I suggest you get the Barron’s book and really go through the sections of their vocab that they recommend. The articles will almost certainly be on current events. Know words about business, the economy, politics, etc. A strike = la huelga for example is a great word to know. Ciclo econ</p>
<p>I’m just doing past exams to practice. IF anyone has a copy of the 2010 ap spanish multiple choice section i would greatly appreciate it. I have plenty to trade if you want too (nearly all the old ap bio released exams, tons of released SATs, old chem exams, stat exams, etc.). Thanks, this is pretty important to me because I need a 4 or 5 to place out next year.</p>
<p>I’ve been taking practice tests and questions and have been writing to old prompts and having my Spanish teacher check them.
For the speaking, I’ll download the past years sections and record myself!
Also, I’ve been reading articles online and mini stories and have been watching and listening to Spanish shows, music, and news! </p>
<p>Good luck</p>
<p>so who’s ready for this thing tomorrow? preterite vs. imperfect is still the hardest thing in the world to me</p>
