AP Spanish how to tackle the conversation, aka "the beep"

Beep protocol Check with theme the context is: Check out which "tema" this track is from and start those synapses firing with vocabulary/tenses/ideas etc. connected to that theme You have to have absorbed the situation (aka respond correctly: coherent with the topic) READ THE RUBRIC! Interpersonal: In the exam and recorded on the TRACK you get at least 2 minutes to prepare. Use the time wisely to really preview what YOU are expected to say. Also, in that time, use your pencil to underline your role (what you have to do), so it doesn’t come as a surprise Instructions indicate register: Ensure that you use the correct register: Ud or tú, that means. tu/tus/contigo, te or su/sus, con Usted, le. You must fill the 20 seconds but do not go over the beep (or else you’ll miss the next question) Check key words in responses in instructions: negativamente & afirmativamente Check the words “detalles” (you have to say at least 2 things) & “preguntas” Self correct if needed, the examiners respect this. Be an actor, be present in the oral with the tone that it requires. Keep a log of all the ones you practiced in class and extract the key elements. Fill the entire time if you can, do not be afraid to reference back to former remarks or wing it within the framework of the theme. Do not in any circumstance just say, "Hola " and leave it at that. Each response you make carries equal grading. Be ready for an unusual statement from the exam speaker that may seem odd, and might throw you off guard…Carry on! DO NOT laugh unless part of the response prompt! And do not swear or say anything inappropriate. Never forget to say thank you (agradece) say good bye (Despídete) – if not, you will lose a point. Use at least 2 subjunctive phrases and an if clause.
