The SAT II was designed for a student who has had more than 4 years of study or 2 intensive years of study in Spanish. Since AP Spanish, and its equivilents, are the step after the 4th year, then you will be fine. Just make sure you know all the verbs tenses and have a good bit of vocab and know the grammar rules. Spend the next 5 weeks going over your notes and pick up a magazine and newspaper everday, since one of the reading sections is an ad. The reading sections can also be overcome by reading plenty, and you don't have to be able to read Don Quixote to understand the passages. The passages and questions are so simple, but they used synonims between the two, so a good vocab and understanding of passages will make that go by smootly. The only section I had trouble with was paragraph completion. Sometimes, it is hard to understand what it is about, so I alwasy did those last, although they are the second section. I used Barron's for review. It is much much harder than the real test. I was getting 450-550 on those tests, but did pretty well on teh real test (680). I omitted 5, and suspect I missed between 10-15 others. Retaking in May, btw.
