AP Spanish and French students meet in the auditorium during lunch as Mr. Jelen gives a lesson on using the DAC (Digital Audio Capture) App. This app will allow the students to record the oral sections of their AP tests. As AP season begins, the school is making efforts to ensure that testing goes smoothly. Stress over AP exams and other testing can be seen throughout the student community. “The thing that makes me nervous about AP Spanish is that I just have to know Spanish.
