It is not a knowledge-based exam like most other AP exams. You are “on stage” in Spanish for over 3 hours integrating all four of your skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing. Familiarize yourself with the AP Spanish Language Exam Format by going to the AP Central website. The exam assumes and demands critical, integrated expression in Spanish. You must maintain your focus during these 3+ hours.  \nIn addition to the reading and writing portions of the AP Spanish Language exam, you must record an improvised two-minute formal oral presentation. You will speak for 2 minutes and must show a high level of analysis, synthesis and evaluation in this presentation to receive a 4 or 5.  \nThe AP Spanish Language class is an intense, demanding course. Our goal is for you to receive a 3 or above on the exam. If you have questions, contact the AP Spanish teacher  \n([rosa.gamez@fresnounified.org](rosa.gamez@fresnounified.org)) at your school and visit the website at:  \n[http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/about.html](http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testing/ap/about.html).  \nReady to step up to the challenge? 􀀝  \nIf you are taking the AP Spanish class, here are some recommendations for things to do over the summer and during the school year to help prepare you. These are in addition to your assignments and school activities.  \n1. Everyday, pick up a Spanish publication and read some of it. Some possible choices include People Magazine en Español , Reader’s Digest en Español, Hola, or other such publications. These are available at local bookstores/magazine shops. Car magazines, fashion magazines, etc. are all good alternatives. It is essential to do some reading and to be exposed to Spanish publications.  \n2. You can also go on the internet and read articles in Spanish such as on-line newspapers, magazines, and web sites. Many search engines are available in Spanish. If you click on or type“video” at [www.Yahoo.com](www.Yahoo.com) or [www.Google.com](www.Google.com), you can find videos in Spanish that will help with visual, audio and gestures in Spanish.  \n3. Have some daily contact with Univisión or other Spanish programming on television or video. We recommend watching news programs such as “Primer Impacto,” or “Noticiero.” You will see and hear speakers from all of the Spanish-speaking countries. There are soap operas,“Telenovelas,” if that interests you. Additionally, there are many different game shows. You will need frequent contact over the summer with Spanish language and cultures.  \n4. Videos and DVDs are excellent resources, too, for listening to Spanish. While watching your favorite DVD this summer, select to hear or watch your DVD in the Spanish language. Watch the program and jot down some words or things you don’t understand or want to learn then. You probably will not understand everything, but over time your understanding will increase. You might like working with music videos or commercials when you do this at first.  \n5. Seek out opportunities to listen to “live” Spanish. There are community cultural events and local service organizations that provide services to the Spanish-speaking community. You can help others while helping yourself. Speak Spanish with family, friends, and co-workers.  \n6. Listen to Spanish music. You may even want to consider podcasts available in Spanish. There are some designed to teach Spanish as well as some for entertainment.  \n7. In the Spanish AP Exam you will need to have a wide variety of knowledge about the Spanish Speaking World. The more you know about the countries, famous people (singers, political leaders, athletes, etc. ), monuments, and traditions the more prepared you will be for the exam and the class.  \nSummer Assignments  \nChoose a book from the list below to read this summer.
