hey, magooshers. i was just thinking about most influential book i read in high school: gabriel garcia marquez\u2019s one hundred years of solitude<\/em>. it was my first introduction to magical realism. also, the sweeping plot had me hooked after reading a few pages.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"ap<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

marquez is only the most well-known of a slew of central and south american writers who have put the continent on the literary map. in ap spanish literature and culture, you have the chance to explore these writers’ works in their native tongue. also, the course is great for students planning to major in spanish in college.<\/p>\n

today i\u2019ll take you step by step through the ap exam so that there are no surprises on exam day.<\/p>\n

let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n

note: <\/strong>this article accounts for all revisions made to the ap spanish literature and culture exam in fall 2014. if researching test materials online, please only refer to those that appeared on the spring 2015 exam or later.<\/p>\n

how you\u2019re assessed on the ap spanish literature and culture exam<\/h2>\n

you do not have to be 100% fluent to make a 5 on the ap spanish literature and culture exam. according to the college board, the company that makes the exam, a student should have completed three or more years of spanish before taking ap spanish literature and culture. unless you’re a native speaker, i’d recommend this course only for high school seniors who began learning spanish their freshman year (or sooner). in the end, though, it’s your call. finally, the college board strongly recommends that you take a spanish language course the same year you take ap spanish literature and culture.<\/p>\n

like many college-level literature courses, ap spanish literature and culture is focused on six broad learning objectives:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. societies in contact<\/li>\n
  2. the construction of gender<\/li>\n
  3. time and space<\/li>\n
  4. literary creation<\/li>\n
  5. interpersonal relations<\/li>\n
  6. the dual nature of being<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    if i had to guess what your teacher is planning, you can expect that each of these learning objectives will make up an individual unit. of course, since the course is focused on literature, expect many literary pieces to hit on multiple themes.<\/p>\n

    the course also has five guiding questions. i have reproduced them below, in spanish.<\/p>\n
