The AP Spanish Language Questions that We All Want Answered

Test Preparation
1

<p>I've searched this forum a bunch of times for concerns dealing with AP Spanish Language. It's been said that this exam is the toughest out of any, for non-native speakers, of course. I am a senior this year and I plan to work really hard this year so I can pass the AP Spanish exam.</p>

<p>I understand it only depends on how well you know the language after x number of years, but there has GOT to be some sort of preparation source to rigorously prepare for this AP exam. From what i've heard, its ridiculously impossible.</p>

<p>For those of you in the same boat, or that have already completed this course, help me out! I know a bunch of us on CC have the same questions, too. So Thanks in advance!!</p>

<ul>
<li>What are the best prep books/guides for this course?</li>
<li>If you have taken the AP exam, tell us your score and what you used to prepare. How did you do throughout the year in the course?</li>
<li>What is the best way to conquer the listening on the AP exams?</li>
<li>Any other tips for this exam?? Was it really as tough as anticipated?</li>
</ul>

<p>Thanks to anyone willing to answer! I know that much of the CC community has the same questions.</p>

<p>Also, if you are taking the language this year, what are you doing in class? In my school, we have a 30 word vocab quiz every week (spanish to spanish definitions), listen to native speakers and do podcast summaries weekly. We also have 5 formal essays throughout the year. The rest of the class is just grammer and speaking. What do your schools do in this course?</p>
