Make sure your teacher speaks grammatically correct Spanish at all times. The critical thing is to get the sound of correct grammar in your ears–that will help you through the writing, speaking, AND listening sections. As for reading, read short stories by authors like Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortazar, etc.

I took Sp. Language last year. Collegeboard hasn’t given me my score yet–there’s some fiasco with not having enough graders or something.

The best technique is to get used to speaking with other people, and reading in Spanish.

Its a very long exam and speaking and reading are the main parts.
