It's in standard spanish, the kind their little language regulation group uses...something like that. lol. There aren't that many differences, I believe. Unless you've been learning like, Catalan you won't have any problems whatsoever. The only major diffence is the vosotros tense, and you have to be able to *recognize it* but since you've been learning it all along you'll have no problem at all.

The AP has hardly any Spain Spanish...like, the correct answer would be lo if in Spain they use le as the direct object. And of course, the speaking people don't have spanish accents. But you should have no problem.
