I am planning on taking the french subject test either this june of my junior year or next October, during senior year. Either way, it can’t be the listening test, which is okay, since reading/ writing are my stronger points.

I’m currently in IB SL French 3, and I have a pretty good teacher, but our class moves slowly. And I like French, so subject test will be a good way for me to show my skills for college apps.

Has anyone (not a native speaker) taken the test successfully, with 700+ ?

Also, which test prep book is the best? I know REA is supposed to be good, but the book is nearly $200. Is barrons/ princeton any good? Or would it be more beneficial to get a private tutor?
