5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a comprehensive, thorough course in Spanish!!, September 9, 2002

This review is from: AP Spanish w/ Audio CDs (REA) - The Best Test Prep for the AP Exam (Advanced Placement (AP) Test Preparation) (Paperback)

I really enjoyed using this book as a form of supplementary preparation for taking the AP Spanish Exam. I found it to be an excellent source of information for all of the material covered on the exam, and some of the practices excercises actually more than prepared me for the material on the exam. The audio CDs were essential in preparing me for the oral component of the exam, and made studying more fun. I Am grateful to the authors of the book, since their work helped me to score a 5 on the exam. I would strongly recommend this book to test takers.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE best book for AP spanish!, November 17, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: AP Spanish w/ Audio CDs (REA) - The Best Test Prep for the AP Exam (Advanced Placement (AP) Test Preparation) (Paperback)

This book is the absolute best buy for AP Spanish Language preparation. It goes through every aspect of the test and has a very thorough review of all grammar tested in the exam (although I thought that they had a little more then what was needed). The practice tests accurately measure with the difficulty and format of the real test. Having a bad situation with an inexperienced teacher, I picked up this book and used it for self-study. It helped me greatly, and in the end, I received a 4 just by going through it myself and practicing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Exámenes de práctica son «así así», May 4, 2004

This review is from: AP Spanish w/ Audio CDs (REA) - The Best Test Prep for the AP Exam (Advanced Placement (AP) Test Preparation) (Paperback)

First, I should say that I didn't actually use the book as a review, but my teacher did use two of the practice exams (not sure how many come with it in total) in class. We did one full length exam on a Saturday morning (I got a 5) and there was another one that we did in sections over a few days. This morning, I took the real College Board AP Spanish Language exam and it was a little different. Not completely different, mind you-REA got all of the basics right-but something about the tone and feel of the exam was different. The reading passages weren't actual narratives, but factual writings, two of them were reprinted from newspapers. On the listening section all of the accents in this book were from Spain (use of "ceceo") but none of them were on the actual test. This isn't a bad test, but some of the other review books are probably a little better. Again, I did not use this for review of grammar or look at the book at all, just the practice tests.
