wrong thread BE
I taught my daughters (homeschool) how to take the Spanish AP Language and Culture exam. It consists of 4 parts of skills. One part is reading and multiple choice the correct answer. Another part is audio and multiple choice the right answer. There's a 2 part writing section, write an essay and write an email. The speaking part also has 2 parts. One is holding a phone conversation and the other is a mini speech.
When I taught them, the Spanish exam have not gone as diversity oriented as the French and German. I suspect it has now. The Personal and Public identities section was where that was mostly. It was liberal oriented. I would also try to explain to other homeschool parents what it would take for their kid to pass. For those 4 hours you were someone else who loved whatever was thrown at you.
AP Language exams are on a 5 point scale; 5 is high. In theory, a 3 is passing but we found most colleges and universities would only give credit for a 4-5. MY estimation of word count needed to pass the Spanish was 9-12K for a 3, 12-15K for a 4, and 15,000 or more words for a 5. There was math behind it. It's a 4 hour exam so you have to have a lot of words to stay in the game.

I give up.
Hmmm, I took 2 years of Spanish in HS and still barely passed. I had Puerto Rican friends, too. The problem is that real Spanish speakers talk like machine guns. I did learn lots of swear words though. LOL, and this important phrase if you're ever in a Spanish-speaking country:
"Deme un cerveza, por favor."
Kaylee speaking (in speech therapy) and learning to walk again! Parents just announced 90 min ago.

Literally, from the very brink of death. A miracle indeed. I wouldn't agree that it's "simply" a miracle, it would seem to be a miracle of the highest order.

Kaylee Gain Showing Signs of "Significant Cognitive Impairment": That girl on top of Kaylee needs to go to jail for ever.
View: https://twitter.com/Redhead4645/status/1775176156796301623
Colin Rugg:
NEW: Missouri teenager Kaylee Gain is showing signs of “significant cognitive impairment” after getting her head beaten against the pavement. Attorney Bryan Kaemmerer says Kaylee has no clue why she is in the hospital and is having a hard time speaking.
“Kaylee’s ability to walk has slightly improved but she is still unable to do so without the assistance of hospital staff,” Kaemmerer said.
“However, Kaylee is still showing signs of significant cognitive impairment during the limited conversations that she is able to have, and she tends to reiterate the same short sentences over and over.”
The family also claims that Kaylee’s attacker bragged about the beating on social media saying she should “join MMA or WWE” because of the beating.
Juanita Broaddrick: If the races were reversed there would have been riots, burning and destruction. Prayers for Kaylee.

I'm not really that convinced that all the 'deficiencies' mentioned above are permanent as-is. For cryin' out loud, she just had an apprentice sheboon introduce her grey matter to a sidewalk only 3 weeks ago! First off, it will take longer than that for her system to go boogity woogity and shake its head to clear cobwebs, and second, we have no idea what kind or strength of medications she might still be on which will cause all sorts of knock-on problems--vestibular, cognitive, memory, etc.
Jumping off the vent and rudimentary communication and mobility so quickly might be leading to higher-than-rational expectations, and it's a letdown when the trajectory dips towards a more normal level.
Don't get me wrong, I'm praying for her and pulling for her recovery, but I have realistic expectations that she might take longer than it first appeared before she's as 'there' as she's going to get.

Neither here nor there.
My guess is she will end up in a brain injury clinic/institution like the one in eastern Iowa, for a few months of rehab. I don't remember if there's one in the St. Louis area or not since it's been 30 years since I've lived there.

Elza, this testimony could be mine. It wasn’t my time either. Thanks for sharing. The Lord is faithful!
That she can "walk and talk" to the degree she can 3 weeks after the assault is a good sign. But yes, she's got a long haul ahead. It took myself 9 months from stroke to return to work with a daily and rigorous rehab plan, with restrictions, yet over five years later I still have "issues"(and compared to many in the brain injury ward i spent the first month and change in i was VERY lucky). Having seen the video of her beating I can only say that her not being dead or in a category of vegetative state is a miracle.
