<p>Does anyone have experience/suggestions? I'm thinking of PR... Also, are the CD's important to study with?</p>
<p>Tr</p>
<p>the cd listening parts and speaking parts are the most important to practice i would say. i got a 5 on the exam as a non native speaker, and just ran through a couple listening exercises the night before the exam to study. My class prepared me really well in school. The grammer and stuff is really basic as long as you can understand the passages, and its not like you can learn to read spanish from a prep book if you havent figured it out in school.</p>
<p>Edit: just saw the above post, and my class also used triangulo in class, a really great book</p>
<p>I got a 2 -_-.
My teacher did not prepare me well AT ALL.
I had a 96% first semester, and a 92% second semester.
I had princeton review, but the 2007 version, which didn't really help because they changed the speaking part of the test.</p>
<p>There were changes from 2007 to 2008? All I know is that they changed the test from 2006 to 2007...</p>
<p>While undoubtedly language is one of the harder AP's to study for with a studyguide as it is more a skill learned over time than a list of facts, there was one book that helped me get a 5 as a non-native speaker. It was the Barron's 2008 guide. It is good in that it has LOADS; I mean loads of practice questions. If you go through the whole book, something that takes about a month or two you will be really prepared for the examination. As a bonus, the last several chapters are comprised of basic grammar and vocab review which are always helpful.</p>
