[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's just not that difficult to score a 5 on an AP language exam. In fact, MOST of those who take AP Chinese score 5s. Scoring a 7 on an IBD HL language exam is another story. Very very difficult. [/quote] A very large fraction of the Chinese and Spanish exam takers are native or heritage speakers. Not surprising they score 5. The importance of foreign language is slowly waning since English is the de facto language used everywhere and everything can be instantly translated with AI. Most people these days learn a language outside of school, like through Duolingo. I always found their annual reports quite interesting. For Spanish and French most people learn for fun and connecting with people while English learners motivation is supporting their education. For academic preparation, foreign language ranks last in priority in my view, time is much better spent learning English well.[/quote]
