<p>So I am going into my junior year of college, and I am trying to get as much of the foreign language requirement out of the way as I possibly can. In order to exempt out of the four semester foreign language requirement, one must get either a 3 on the AP or a 560 on the SAT II.</p>
<p>I have two questions: (1) Which one of these scores will be easier to get? (2) If I take 2 semesters of Spanish this summer at a local college, will it be realistic for me to be able to get one of these scores?</p>
<p>I took a year and a half of spanish in high school, but after taking the online placement test for my college I can see that I remember very little of it.</p>
<p>unfortunately, although im not sure, i dont think 2 semesters of college spanish will be enough. If I’m not mistaken, AP spanish is equivalent to 5 or 6 semesters of college spanish.</p>
<p>However if I’m wrong i’d definitely go for the 560 on the sat ii. My ap spanish teacher said the sat ii was easier, and just in general i would think that a 560 on a subject test would be easier than a 3 on an ap. Also, as you may already know, the ap is a much more painful test since its much longer and isn’t just a fill in the bubble test. Especially the dreaded speaking section, which involves participating in a simulated conversation, and the horrible presentation of a 2 minute formal arguement on a topic after reading and listening to a source and having only 2 minutes of prep, should be enough to steer anybody towards the sat ii</p>
