<p>I just finished taking this test (but I don't think we should begin discussing until a few hours after everyone from all time zones has taken it). Anyone else here attempt it (I was slaughtered...)?</p>
<p>I took it. It was very hard. I won’t discuss the questions, but I will say it was very difficult.</p>
<p>Could people share how they studied? If they put more emphasis on grammar or if they spent more time learning vocabulary.</p>
<p>I know I definitely got one question wrong. Does any one remember that reading passage where the narrator was talking about her mother waking up and taking the train to work? I put “hacia” for the question asking about the train traveling to Manhattan or somewhere. I thought I was correct in putting that, but suddenly I’m having doubts.</p>
<p>I didn’t study. I couldn’t figure out how to, so I just went in with the hope that my knowledge of Spanish would be sufficient. I left 8 questions blank, but as for the others, I feel as though I could have either gotten every single one right, or gotten 50% of them wrong. I felt like I couldn’t really judge how I did, either good or bad.</p>
<p>I actually thought it was very fair. Only left two blank. Feel pretty confident for a non native speaker. Didnt study</p>
<p>was one of the answers for the fill-in about the mom dressing for work a conjugated version of graduar?</p>
<p>also was “presencia” an answer for one of the fill-ins about guyana?</p>
<p>lastly, in the last passage, as soon as the passengers got off the bus, what did they do? i said they called a taxi…</p>
<p>one more:</p>
<p>it’s fue grabado
not estuvo grabado</p>
<p>correct?</p>
<p>Graduar - yes, i think so.</p>
<p>About the taxi, I said they laughed at her. </p>
<p>I don’t remember the other ones</p>
<p>Yay I got graduar too (: Is anyone 100 percent sure about the taxi question? I put that they laughed at her, but my friend said they got something else.</p>
<p>I don’t think it was burlar for the taxi question. I remember they got off the bus, and then they knocked over things and gathered their luggage.</p>
<p>I recognized the book so I got the exact sentence: "Los viajeros bajaron atropellandose y permanecieron en la acera para contemplar su equipaje. Consuelo se sintio una intrusa mirada por todos. – Un taxi…</p>
<p>?</p>
<p>I thought that they laughed because they used the word “carcajada” when she asked for a “hostal”</p>
<p>I don’t think it was ‘fue grabado’ because if I recall it was ‘_____ grabada’. I put ‘tuvo’.</p>
<p>As for the test, I didn’t think it was all that bad. The first section was easier than normal. I did about 10 practice tests overall, 1 of which was a released exam from Collegeboard. No doubt the Spanish test is a toughie, but this version wasn’t too bad, imo.</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure it was fue grabada -> passive voice, the past participle here is being used as an adjective </p>
<p>for the taxi one i put they helped her with her luggage…idk</p>
<p>also, what did you guys get for the questions involving lo cual, lo que, etc? i think i put lo cual for one of them, quien for another</p>
<p>yes I put fue grabada too. for the taxi ones, I put wichever one had maletas. i also put graduar. and i didnt put presencia, I dont remember what I put but it wasnt that</p>
<p>It was fairly easy. I’m non-native speaker, and I’m thinking I got a 790, hopefully 800…</p>
<p>Edit: I started studying Spanish serious a little over a year ago. I have studied it intensely since then (not for the SAT, but just to know the language). I got a 720 in April. But the key is to memorize a ton of vocabulary and know the grammar (It’s really not THAT hard.) I memorized the glossary in my Spanish 3 book, the Barron’s book, and the AP Barron’s book.</p>
<p>And don’t talk about the questions if people still haven’t taken it.</p>
<p>for the last question (~31) did you guys put las cansadas?
also for the one about mexican leyendas was the answer hacienda?</p>
<p>Lo cansadas. Herencia.</p>
<p>I felt pretty confident…I’m not a native speaker, but I watch a lot of Spanish TV :D</p>
<p>^ Soap operas? (;</p>
<p>Hahaha mostly news, but yes, I have been known to watch a telenovela or two in my spare time :)</p>
