AP Spanish

[Anonymous]

Can a student go from Honors Spanish 3 junior year to AP Spanish senior year?

[Anonymous]

Yes if they are an A student

This is the way in most of the country, but you should talk to your Spanish Department chair. There will be many kids who are (a) native speakers and/or (b) who have taken Spanish 4 and 5 prior to AP

Take some placement tests.

If they've taken 3 in Junior and the only chance to take AP is then senior then they will be given preference to do it, so long as their grades are strong.

This is the root of the question. DD doesn’t love Spanish but wants to have an AP class in all five subjects. I’m concerned she won’t be ready jumping from honors Spanish 3.

I agree with your hunch that it is a big jump. Spanish 4 was a big jump from 3. How game would your child be for some tutoring the summer before?
