<p>Basically, I’m scared for the listening/talking sections. i get around 60% of the listening exercises (in Barron’s) right. </p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>I’m scared. I’ve just been looking over my textbook, which is mostly a collection of trivial grammatical rules. </p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>I have it as well:(I’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.</p>
<p>yea i’m fine with the writing/reading sections</p>
<p>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</p>
<p>i guess there’s not much i can do now.</p>
<p>wdrmhbs:</p>
<p>Don’t fret! Past results indicate that 43% is enough to get you a 3. You’ll be fine.</p>
<p>I really want a 5… but who doesn’t?</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>I am not looking forward to this.</p>
<p>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</p>
<p>but i do so horribly in the listening sections.
at least this year they print the questions on the tests</p>
<p>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…)</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>our teacher told us specifically to NOT study today (sunday)
and go watch a french movie…</p>
<p>like that’d really help -_-</p>
<p>how’d u get the past results? google searches give me nothing</p>
<p>good luck everyone!
i’m nervous too!
BONNE CHANCE TOUT LE MONDE! :)</p>
<p>barron’s est toujours plus difficile…je pense.<br>
je vais le rater</p>
<p>What I’ve done for listening: I’ve listened to RFI’s Francais Facile everyday (lol, was going to type chaque jour).</p>
<p>Good thing is that today I did my last FRQ and I only missed 1 verb (out of stupidity), but 6 words…meh</p>
<p>For me I think the listening will be like “Bonjour Marie alsdkfjalskdfjalzcvxczf je vais aller au stade qpewruipqieur”, then I’ll guess B</p>
<p>In like 3:40 ahhh!</p>
<p>I’ve been on exchange in France for two weeks, so I decided that that was enough studying for me. Ha, ha.</p>
<p>Ahh lucky haha:D</p>
<p>Haha I’m considering this test to be a joke. The only preparation we had in class was the one practice test we took that was counted as our final. After the teacher told us she didn’t expect more than a 2 from us, I just gave up. I haven’t studied and plan on enjoying my last moment of high school french!</p>
<p>ahh that was surprisingly difficult… </p>
<p>I usually do well on the essay but I didn’t get to show off my idioms because of the topic -_- and I haven’t practiced listening in my class so I kind of winged it and am hoping for the best! The reading was moderate–at least the passages were sort of interesting. And then the speaking is always pretty bad for me so yeah, I hope I can pull off a 3.</p>
<p>Listening and speaking were rough. Everything else was alright, I thought. Hoping for a 4 at this point.</p>
