    What to study: we use "Realidades" textbook.  Click THIS LINK to look at and do the interactive activities and reviews through and including chapter 4A for first semester and from chapters 4A through 9A for second semester. Of course, some 1st semester material is embedded into the 2nd semester exam as the newer content builds the previous content. This is helpful for the speaking and writing portions of the exam.
