<p>For the speaking part of AP Spanish there's a stimulated conversation that mimics a telephone conversation. Someone talks in Spanish and you have to respond appropriately to their question to continue the conversation until you're prompted to say adios.</p>
<p>My school records this using a program called Audacity on the computer and to record you have to follow basic instructions such as pressing record, pause, play, and stop in a specific order. When we got to this conversation a few kids screwed up the order which meant their audio wasn't recorded. My proctor got frustrated and decided to give them a second chance and replayed the conversation. I thought this was unfair since they might not of understood what the audio recording said the first time and have an unfair advantage of listening again. After the second time someone still screwed up the recording process so she played it a third time...</p>
<p>Nobody in my room seemed to really care (other than being annoyed that we'll have to leave later) so I assumed that it wasn't against testing policy to replay an audio in case of a technical difficulty. When I brought this up with my AP Spanish teacher of how unfair it was she told me that they're not supposed to replay it, especially if it's the student's fault. Is this true? I'm really annoyed because I messed up a portion of the speaking and if I had a chance to redo it I would get a much higher score.</p>
