Hi, I’m a non-Spanish speaker taking AP Spanish Language and Culture. Frankly, I feel REALLY underprepared for this exam. My teacher barely teaches us anything. I didn’t even know we had to do presentational writing (essay) until I looked it up today. Seriously, a third of the time in that class, we’re watching movies, not even Spanish related. Something like Bob’s Burgers. At my old school, we had to take Spanish 3, then 4, then AP Spanish, but at my new school, it jumps straight from Spanish 3 to AP Spanish, so I wonder if I’m missing a lot of content…

I mean, I was always pretty confident with learning languages, but I don’t know if it is enough for AP level, since I don’t have particularly diverse vocabulary, and whenever my teacher plays the audio, it is way too fast for me. I can barely keep up with the speaker is saying. Anyway, is there any way I can surely get a 3 on the exam? I’d greatly appreciate any resources to help me build vocabulary and grammar skills.
