ksarmand gives good advice. Practice, practice, practice, even if it’s just talking to your cat in Spanish. I’m expecting a 3/4 on the test, and I wish that I had practiced more.
Watch Spanish films/TV (Pan’s Labyrinth is an awesome movie). Definitely make sure that you’re solid on grammar/verb tenses/etc.

Don’t worry about skipping a level…I did the same thing without much difficulty. I think that regardless of whether you’ve had 3 or 4 years of Spanish, it’s more important that you are willing to work hard. I found myself ahead of some of the individuals who had been taking Spanish for a year longer than I had.

You should be warned that it is very difficult to get a 5 if you are not a native speaker, but you should still be able to pass if you work hard. If you don’t do well in Language for some reason, you could take AP Spanish Lit your senior year and try for a better score (if your school offers it).

Buena suerte.
