An AP test is a test that high school students can take to earn college credit. These tests are usually very difficult, so only a small percent of the students earn the highest mark, a 5. Students spend all year preparing to take this test. In today’s episode, Marina and Ana Clara are getting ready for another round of AP tests.
Dialogue
A: Ei, Marina, seu exame de AP* não é por esses dias?
B: É, eu tenho uns na semana que vem. Por quê?
A: Pelos memes que eu vi no Instagram e no esse exame é superchato. Leva umas 4 horas, né?
B: Pode levar de 4 a 5 horas dependendo da matéria que você tá fazendo. O exame é bem longo mesmo e tem um monte de perguntas de múltipla escolha e questões dissertativas.
A: Droga. Eu tava olhando o site do College Board** e só uma porcentagem bem pequena tira 4 ou 5.
B: É mesmo? Quais exames você viu?
A: Eu vi o exame de Chinês, porque essa é a matéria que eu vou fazer no ensino médio. Só 16% dos alunos que não falam chinês em casa tiram 5. Eu tô com o maior medo de fazer esses exames.
B: Não precisa ficar! Os seus professores vão te preparar da melhor maneira possível e nada de ruim vai acontecer se você não passar – a única coisa é que você não vai ganhar crédito universitário para aquela matéria. E tem um monte de recursos online para você estudar. O College Board tem todos os exames antigos digitalizados. Vai dar certo.
A: Tomara...
A: Hey Marina, don’t you have your AP test coming up soon?
B: Yeah, I have a few next week. Why are you asking?
A: I saw a couple of memes on Instagram and about how tedious the test is. Doesn’t it take like 4 hours or something?
B: It can take between 4 and 5 hours depending on the classes you take. The test is really long, and has a bunch of multiple choice and essay questions.
A: Damn. I was looking at the College Board website and only a very small percentage of people pass with a 4 or a 5.
B: Oh really? What tests did you look at?
A: I checked the Chinese exam, since that’s the class I’m taking in high school. Only 16% of the students who don’t speak Chinese at home get a 5. I am really scared to take those tests.
B: You shouldn’t be! Your teachers prepare you the best that they can, and nothing bad happens to you if you don’t pass - you just won’t get college credit for that class. Plus, there’s a bunch of online resources for you to study with. College Board has all of their previous tests digitized. You’ll do just fine.
A: I hope so…
