i did!
multiple choice. so easy. answered everything except one question from the listening part cause i didnt pay enough attention....
writing was ok. my essay was decent... the paragraph filling was easy but who knows.
speaking was horrible. my convo was so bad... i didnt speak through the 20 seconds... and it was so bad,,,
the presentation was ok... again, i dont think i took enough notes while listening...
im not in ap spanish this year. im in spanish 3 but i took the exam b/c i dont want to take the class next year and spanish is easy for me. im not a native speaker but i am very familiar w. the language since portuguese in my first language.. only if i was as fluent as before... speaking would be no problem,,, but its been almost 5 years since i stopped speaking portuguese regularly.. and omg it was my first time using a recorder... the presentation oral didnt get recorded at first b/c i put it on pause (?lol) so i had to rerecord it.. i wish my conversation didnt get recorded so i could redo it.. but too bad..
other than that i did ok.. not as bad as i thought it would be.. actually i anticipated for the m/c part to be easy. the passages are very easy if you understand spanish. theyre not like critical reading so its easy to answer them.. at least for me!!!
anyone else has taken the ap spanish language exam?

I took it! I also thought the MC was very friendly, and I also got killed by the speaking section. Maybe the curve will be low then 
if everyone had trouble there *hopehopehope*
Actually, I took a little nap during the MC haha There were 20 minutes left before the break, and I only had the last page left to do, so I thought, "I'll just take a 10 minute nap and finish when I wake up so I won't be as sleepy and likely to make mistakes" and I woke up in 10 minutes and finished my exam happily =] my friends all think I'm crazy, but that sort of thing is all about perspective, heh~

This test took so long to complete. I was dead by the end. And it sucks because we only got a 10 min break and went back to class in the middle of 5th period. I didn't do so good in some sections but I'm still hoping for a 4

I took it last year. I got a 5! But my parents are Hispanic and I know the language perfectly. I just wanted the college credit.

maaan i hated it! i hope i at least get a freakin 2 -___- i felt like couldn't really focus. The people who came were split into two groups. One group in one room, the other group in the other room.
The room i was in was near a train station so...the listening was hard to hear!!
The reading was pretty fine, i'm not to worry about that.
Writing was pretty bad. I'm usually good at it. My informal was alright and the formal was..bad i think.
Speaking was horrible. My conversation was pretty bad and we all had to do it at the same time!!
The whole listening thing, besides the trains running, was bad as well. I kept zoning out.
at least i tried..

I feel like I didn't completely answer the essay question...
The talking, I didn't talk that much for the formal presentation.
Everyone else was talking until the *beep*
I really want a 4 or a 5...
That exam took forever though!
We started at 8AM and finished at 12:40! =_=

well even if you do bad, and you do send it to the college your going to, they're not going to kick you out right?
