<p>So with the AP French test but a day from now, I wanted to know if my email response would be good enough for what AP readers are looking for in at least a 4 or a 5. Keeping in mind that I've been self studying for the test, I hope that you might help me in correcting all errors and providing me with tips on how to improve it. </p>
<p>(Note: the prompt that I used is the one available on the collegeboard syllabus here: <a href="http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/repository/AP_FrenchLangCED_Effective_Fall_2011.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/repository/AP_FrenchLangCED_Effective_Fall_2011.pdf</a>)</p>

<p>That’s definitely good enough for a 5. How long have you been self-studying French?</p>
<p>2 years now, and thanks. I just wanted to gauge how well I could write formally in French. In terms of AP review, email, essay, and cultural comparison are the three sections I’ve studied very little on, as I (or probably any language student for that matter) am a little better at absorbing information in another language than dishing it out.</p>
<p>And I guess it’s sort of cheating a little, but I had to google the formule de politesse as I’ve been pretty unfamiliar with those until now.</p>
<p>Upon a second read, there are a few grammar errors:
- Je pr</p>
<p>Thanks. Luckily picked up on that during the instructions. Also, does the one-page-is-not-good-enough rule apply to the email so much as the essay?</p>
<p>Yeah, the email can definitely be less than a page.</p>
