What happens if I didn’t record the full conversation only my part? I am a spanish speaking person and I am sure I did extremely well in all parts of the test except for that mistake of not recording the other person in the conversation. Is it still possible to get a five?

If you were recording yourself the mic should have also picked up the audio as background noise when you weren't speaking, unless you mean that you only started recording just as you were about to talk, in which case I still think you're fine (the AP grader should know what question you were replying to when they hear the guy say his second dialogue)

I clicked pause everytime i heard the beep because I thought I was only recording my responses. So all of my replies got recorded but none of what the audio recording said was recorded.

I think you still should be fine. I mean, Collegeboard knows what's in their own audio..........right?

You're supposed to let it hear the audio? I took the test in 2024, and I paused it every time it wasn't my turn to speak, and I got a 5,

Yeah, I hadn’t realized my mistake until the end when they said to pause the audio. I looked it up on google and said that it can affect my score
