HOW TO PRACTICE FOR THE AP SPANISH TEST - 5 MISTAKES THAT SET YOU UP FOR FAILURE
All these tips will help you to be successful when taking your AP Spanish Language and Culture Exam.
1) YOU ARE NOT USING SPANISH AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. Watch videos in Spanish, listen to the radio in Spanish, read articles in Spanish. Use it, use it, use it!

2) YOU DIDN'T PRACTICE USING PAST EXAMS. You need to learn Spanish, but you also need to learn all the details about the actual exam. Practice it in advance, so just a few things will feel new to you on the day of the exam.

3) YOU DIDN'T READ THE SCORING GUIDELINES. Make sure you know what is valued and what to expect.

​4) YOU ARE NOT GETTING HELP. Studying on your own can be very stressful! How can you make sure you are doing the right thing? Get help from others. Even elite athletes need a coach, we all need help and guidance.

​5) YOU ARE NOT SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH OTHERS. "El que enseña, aprende dos veces." This Spanish sentence means that "the one who teaches, is learning two times." When you teach others what you know, you are reviewing and organizing that information in a new way: you are learning. Moreover, helping others is a rewarding activity. Teach and share useful resources with others. You will get that help back.

Practice for the AP SPANISH LANGUAGE AND CULTURE TEST

​To know which areas you need to improve for the AP Spanish exam, you can use several diagnostic resources for the AP Spanish test online to help you identify what concepts you need to practice more. However, many different concepts need to be put into practice at once to get a good grade on an Advanced Placement exam, so learning through practice is one the most powerful strategies you can apply. 

​The AP Spanish exam prep practice is based on the different parts of the actual exam. Remember that any Advanced Placement exam might save you time and money in college since they might give you credit if you pass the exam with a good grade. Speaking in Spanish as well as your writing skills are essential. Listening and reading are also crucial. However, the hardest part of the AP Spanish exam will be different for different students depending on each student's solid and weak areas. Finally, consider other AP Spanish Language resources such as practice questions and reviews.
