<p>Currently, I'm a Junior taking both Latin III and Spanish I. My Latin class is easy, it gets harder as each topic goes. I'm also taking the National Latin Exam for my first time which I'm really scared about because I never have the time to study since work and school (trying to get a 85+.) My Spanish teacher, says that Spanish is incredibly easy if you've taken Latin. </p>
<p>Would it be possible if I took a get-ahead exam and took AP Spanish from a Freshman-year course. Would it be confusing if I took that and AP Latin? Of course I would self-study during the summer, learn all the tenses and parts of grammar to be on-par.</p>
<p>OP currently has low-90s in Latin, 100s in Spanish. My only problem is with Latin is that, there’s a lot to memorize with every single rule in grammar. I know all my tenses. Another problem is memorizing declensions.</p>
<p>It’s possible, but you have to test well enough to prove that you can do AP Spanish. Since you’re capable of taking two languages in one year, I don’t think it would be confusing for you to take both AP Latin and AP Spanish.
I’ve already taken the National Latin Exam twice. It consists of two parts; the first one being grammar and Latin history/ Roman mythology, and the second part being reading comprehension. The best way to study is to practice from past exams on the website. </p>
<p>Like the above poster said, it’s possible, but AP Spanish requires a huge Spanish vocabulary before even taking the class, and I really wouldn’t recommend it to OP. It is simply too much of a jump</p>
<p>You want to skip Spanish 2,3 and 4? Would the school even let you? DD did amazing in Spanish 1 and 2 but 3 is slowing her down. It gets much more challenging. </p>
<p>^I wholeheartedly agree. The foreign language education system in public schools is a joke; going from Spanish 1 to AP Spanish would be like learning a few basic phrases in Mandarin and being able to speak in fluent Cantonese</p>
