Scoring Advanced Low OPIc and/or OPI- TEACHER video
For my first OPIc, I scored Intermediate High. Two months later with some prep and practice, I got the Advanced Low score I needed (and knew I was capable of!).
In this video, I talk about some tips and practice methods for those seeking that sometimes elusive Advanced Low score.
TWO things I FORGOT to mention in the video:
1) PRACTICE speaking with natives if you have access to them! I am fortunate to still be in touch with my college Spanish professors and friends from my semester abroad. They were PHENOMENAL resources to help me practice and boost my confidence...speaking of confidence
2) BE CONFIDENT! After my intermediate high score, my self-confidence took a major hit, but deep down, I KNEW I was capable of scoring an Advanced Low or even higher! Approach the exam with a SMILE and pep yourself up! I was literally chanting, "SÍ SE PUEDE" to myself minutes before my exam took place.
3) A week or so leading up to your test, immerse yourself in some Spanish audio and text. My resources were Radio Abulante and BBC Mundo.
Buena suerte!
