Spanish Final

I have to pass Spanish 2. I have a 66 semester average right now. On the final, if I get a 100 on it, I will have a 70.1 semester average. Therefore, I have to pass the final with a 100... ( The final is on Thursday, the day after tomorrow. What are the odds I can do it? I dont know hardly anything that we've covered this year. I am going to study everything spanish related. Even if I do that, I will probably still miss ONE question ( . Any ideas? Oh yea, and I can't cheat. The desks are spread 5 feet apart and monitors walking in between rows checking for notes and other things you can cheat with.

Sorry, but I dont think youll get a 100 since you hardly know anything. You shouldve done Advantage language, haha

[b94d66c48ae]This is rediculous[/b94d66c48ae]... and I love how your reason for not cheating is because the space between desks is too large and the fact that there will be proctors. If I was fluent in spanish I wouldn't help you.

Maybe this is a reason that you should've paid attention in class.

Only thing I can say to you is that you're not getting a 70.1 average. Should've paid attention in class...or kept the foreign language offer.

How the hell do you not know anything from the entire semester?

since you have no morals

Ingredient labels are a great spot to leave answers

What do you mean you have to pass with a 100 for a total of 70.1? A passing grade is 59.5 and higher, isn't it?

I wasn't going to cheat guys lol.... The only reason I mentioned cheating is because a lot of people would have told me to just cheat.

apply your car / truck buying knowledge to the exam; you should do fine..

Because that is the only way that you are going to get a 100. And to whoever asked about the passing percentage, it depends on the school you go to, when i was in elementary school passing was 59.5 but in middle and high school its a 69.5

yea i guess it depends. My high school it was 59.5 or 60%

lmao

lol

By the way, has anyone benefited from one of those offers like Advantage Language? I have 2 different CD sets from different offers that teach you Spanish. I'm definitely giving them a try for next quarter.

95% = A
85% = B
75% = C
65% = D
55% = F

Hmm, well what all did you cover? I take Spanish 3 this year and I'm not that fluent but I might be able to help you a little bit to find some materials or give advice.

I kinda feel sorry for ya Benner but then I dont cuz you didnt pay attention. Te van a meter el pito por tu culo. )

At buster and I's school, it goes like this

100=A+
95-99=A
93-95=A-
90-92=B+ and so on
80-82=C+
70=D-
below 70=F

yeah, it's sweet.

learn the conjugations. Don't be a lazy ass and just learn conjugations tonight, that is your best bet.

Wow, your school is special.

Okay, I just redid my math, and it turns out I have to get a 91. Whew... It's still not that easy, but its 9 points lower, and not a perfect score. Its 160 questions. Therefore, I can miss 15 questions and still pass.

What's Spanish for "I'm a dumbass and I should have paid attention in class this Semester."

?

You should just write that on your paper. j/k but...

I hope you've learned your lesson here. (

Im not a good spanish speller, or proper word speaker, but im good at it, but sorry benner, I hope u learned ur lesson (if u dont pass)

I was good at reading/writing Spanish, but I never have/had anyone to talk to so it's worn off significantly.

Maybe you should be studying spanish instead of doing math equations.




I have a D- in biology right now, and I just came back from the final. I pretty much aced it; I've been studying my ass off the last few days. I entered the semester later so this final can boost my score up to like a B-. So it's possible for you to pass.

But that was an essay test, and I passed by memorizing the essay beforehand (copied it over and over like a dozen times, at least), not multiple choice. So you're likely fucked.

Thanks for the support eng101

Honestly, if you want any chance of getting that 91 you need you should probably stay off this forum until you take the test.

Heh,

I have a test on my AP spanish class tomorrow.

Whoa guys... take it easy, nobody pays attention in spanish (except for whoever replies saying "I do") I plan on studying the conjugations a lot, and cheating, hopefully it works. Whatever I do, I pretty much get a C though, unless I ace it I guess... x

I didn't pay attention in Latin and I was able to pull a B.

Sorry. I was going to share my super-secret tip on how to ace a test without studying or having any working knowledge of the material, but I guess I'm an asshole that way, eh? shrug

GET OFF THIS FORUM AND STUDY HARDCORE, YOU IDIOT.

How could you have wasted an entire semest?


Okay, since you asked for advice though, here is what I have to offer
I dont know the structure of your final, but it seems many foreign language exams have a mixture of matching, fill in the blanks, multiple choice, short and answer and essay. It the multiple choice and fill-ins it is difficult because it is all or nothing; you cant really get partial credit. So study hard now for that. The essay part, even if you are lost, write as much as you can and use as much of the vocabulary words as you can. You can always get partial credit.
When you are done taking the test, if there were tons of fill ins that you did not know, it's safe to say you did not get the 91. So as soon as the final is over, run to your dorm and make up an extra credit assignment and write a couple essays. Either a review about a spanish article you read, reaction to a movie you watched in class, whatever. Just make sure it is in spanish and correct (have someone proof read it). Even if your teacher never assigned extra credit, turn it in anyway. They might take it into consideration.

Learn the irregular conjugations because they always pop up like crazy on exams. Also know the difference between "por" and "para" because that is a common fill-in-the-blank section.

What did your professor place a lot of emphasis on in class? That is going to be key in the exam.

If you get the to the essay part and honestly have no clue what is being asked, just write a random essay about a topic that you think the question is asking and use a lot of the vocab that you had. The teacher might give
you partial credit thinking you misunderstood the questions, but at least made an effort as opposed to leaving it blank or writing "No comprendo la pregunta, lo siento."


Worst case senerio, you get a D or F. It was your own fault and you know it. Re-take the class (hopefully it's easier the second time around, you you can just add it to your current Spring schedule as opposed to substituting Spanish credits for classes you already signed up for).


We have all been there at one point. I can usually pull the rabbit out of my hat, and seeing as you have a few days still, if you study literally all day (NO RADIO, NO TV, NO PHONE, NO INTERNET) then you can get your 91%. I dont know how many other finals you have though.


Good Luck, FORCE YOURSELF TO STUDY HARD AND DO NOTHING ELSE WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY MORNING!!!!

I can never cheat. I would feel aweful. Plus i am firm believe in karmic law and lying, cheating, etc comes back to you.

Even if you dont feel bad inside cheating, arent you scared shittless that you'll get caught. Universities kick students out who cheat on finals. Is it worth getting dismissed for????? You got some balls to take a chance like that, even if "the professor leaves the room," "every student in the room has the same copy of the test," etc.

doesnt matter if your on this forum or not, you cant learn spanish in a night, especially a plus spanish, so therefore save your notes for next semester and do better when you have to take it again.

Isn't Spanish II like 10th grade high school Spanish? Or does he mean intermediate II?

ilanbg this is a little offtopic but have you had cacique guaro b4

lmao..some of these comments are hilarious

honestly, there is no way you can get 100%
even people who are 100% worthy, they still get 90-100 since any second language can be subjective and biased to a certain point where getting 100% is highly unlikely...

and you can't really cheat anyways, aren't there paragraph answers? and free-writing on a topic?

yea, atleast in Costa Rica thats the slang. ilanbg what city were you living in.

I was in Monteverde for two weeks and Heredia (just outside the capital) for a week.

I actually liked Monteverde better. It was a town in the mountains with a population of like less than a thousand people, and it was just nice to know the lay of the land after a day or so. In Heredia I had to keep my guard up for gangs or getting ripped off.

were you doing CPI?? I've spent two months in Monteverde, I love it there. La taverna ftw

Gahaha holy shit, yeah, I was. Dude, I loved those bars.

La taverna was the sports bar with the English-speaking bartender, right?

When did you do that?

The father of my homestay bartended at La Taverna! I was in Monteverde approx. january and april. I was at CPI three weeks in Jan and two weeks in April. It would be some crazy shit if I know you, when were you there?

edit La Taverna was the bar at the bottom of the big hill (packed on sat nights) and Amigos Bar was the one with the big dance floor and tvs

Too bad, I was only there July.

But yeah, dude, that's an insane coincidence.

And I was thinking of a different bar, but I know the one you're talking about. Seriously man, Monteverde was like the best two weeks of my life.

EDIT Oh, I guess I [ie6f77f8607]was[/ie6f77f8607] thinking of the right bar. I mostly hung out in the Amigos bar; I played pool like five hours a day, minimum.

word man. Honestly it has been hightlight of my life so far heh. Even though I went to CPI for 5 weeks I learned the most from just hanging out with the friends that I made there, we'd go to the bar and shoot pool almost every day. I got lucky with my family too, there were two guys in their 20s and girls 17, 19, and 22 - one of which became my girlfriend 8). I know i'll be going back there in the future

"Skipping a year" in high school means skipping a year of high school (doing four years of high school in three), not taking a year off.

That's exactly what I thought. It is basically academic suicide doing that. I guess we learn from our mistakes though. You can't just skip a year from a foreign language and come back and expect to do well. It will take much catch up, not something wise to do if you are lazy.

I'll be honest.

I didn't pay much attention in Spanish three for the first three quarters.

Got about 95-97's.

Then the last quarter i payed attention for the regents (im an LI'er)
i ended up getting a 95.

One point off of the writing, and got two reading questions wrong.



I also agree. Spanish is pretty easy...
I'm in Spanish four this year as a junior, however i doubt I'm gonna take Spanish five.
I'm probably going to end up taking American sign language 2 instead (taking ASL 1 this year).
