Basically, I'm scared for the listening/talking sections. i get around 60% of the listening exercises (in Barron's) right.

Any last minute advice? Should I take 2 hours of my time to listen to French news, etc, or should i focus on my other AP's?

thanks.

I'm scared. I've just been looking over my textbook, which is mostly a collection of trivial grammatical rules.

Good luck.

I have it as wellI'm so nervous because all I want is 3!! The Barron's book we have came with listening tapes and they are so much slower than the actual test...
Recently, I have been listening to online french radio stations and watching french tv shows, bu they really haven't seemed to have been helping me.

yea i'm fine with the writing/reading sections

they just talk too fast for me and i hate how they give you 12 secs to answer each question, and then you have to move on

i guess there's not much i can do now.

wdrmhbs:

Don't fret! Past results indicate that 43% is enough to get you a 3. You'll be fine.

I really want a 5... but who doesn't?

Hah well with my school it's rare to get 3s or more on the french exam. Last year I think only 2 people scored 3. I don't really think it's our teacher either because she is great. Haha oh well. I should think positive! Good luck everyone!

BasilofBakerST, i agree with the 5 thing and how do u know the percentages?
my teacher keeps giving me 8/9 for the compositions we do in class
and that really got my hopes up

but i do so horribly in the listening sections.
at least this year they print the questions on the tests

i am scared merde-less...anyone else gonna take tmrw off of school to study? (it's an afternoon exam but i dont even know what time it is...yet...)

BasilofBakerST

The percentages are based on results from the past few years, during which time the test hasn't changed dramatically, as far as I can tell.

our teacher told us specifically to NOT study today (sunday)
and go watch a french movie...

like that'd really help -_-

how'd u get the past results? google searches give me nothing

What I've done for listening: I've listened to RFI's Francais Facile everyday (lol, was going to type chaque jour).

Good thing is that today I did my last FRQ and I only missed 1 verb (out of stupidity), but 6 words...meh

For me I think the listening will be like "Bonjour Marie alsdkfjalskdfjalzcvxczf je vais aller au stade qpewruipqieur", then I'll guess B
