<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>I just finished the 'late registration' process for this test, and I wanted to see if any students who have taken the exam or are going to take the exam have any advice for approaching the test with about two weeks to study. I am an AP Spanish Language student (with a rigorous teacher), and I have been learning Spanish since 2010 so I have a fairly strong grasp of the language. </p>
<p>I purchased the Barron's prep book, but I wanted to see what specifically is difficult about the exam. I have heard that there is a very strict curve because of the high number of native speakers who take the exam. I am Hispanic, but I am not a native speaker (only my father is Mexican and he was born in the US). Am I at a disadvantage? What should I do to better my chances at success?</p>
<p>Again, you do not have to be an expert to add to this thread. Please feel free to share anything about the test!</p>
<p>Does anyone have something to share?</p>
<p>I took the Spanish test (without listening) and I think the hardest thing on the test is when you have to choose the right verb form, when the subjunctive (past or present) is involved. I think that because so many native speakers take the test, the curve of language SAT 2s is less important than it is on the regular SAT. Just look at your number score. If you can get above 700, that is good. The number is what colleges look at on these tests.
I am not a native speaker, but I have been studying spanish (off and on) for about 10 years (and I live in mostly Spanish-speaking area). I got an 800. :)</p>
<p>I ended up taking the exam. It was respectably difficult!</p>
<p>I’m Spanish–I expect an 800 or near it. For me, it was very simple; no grammar and the like. </p>
<p>I had one doubt, and that was with one of the picture questions on the listening portion. Not that worried about it, however.</p>
<p>This test is hard! I’m a non native speaker but I decided to take it anyway. I got 700 last year, hoping for a 750+ this time. </p>
<p>Did you all understand the last reading section at all? There was a question about where it might appear and I felt like none of the choices fit the passage</p>
<p>It was very easy, though I have been taking spanish for more than 10 years. However, my headphones fell out during a listening section (a group of 3) and I missed a few there.
If anyone else has taken the AP Spanish Language exam, I will tell you that the subject test is infinitely more simple.</p>
<p>Huehue, I had trouble with that section as well, but I think I figured it out in the end.</p>
<p>As a non-native-speaker and AP Spanish student, I didn’t find the exam very difficult, but I did have a doubt or two on the listening section.</p>
<p>Does anyone have a good grasp of what the curve may look like?</p>
