<p>You're done already? People in my school are taking right now...</p>

<p>it kicked my butt. haha</p>
<p>i'm terrible at the speaking, and i do independent study so i never get to practice!
concentrating during listening is pretty difficult, too..i always zone out.</p>
<p>the rest wasn't so bad..i owned the fill-ins..too bad they're worth practically nothing.
i need a 3 to get credit!!</p>
<p>Ahh, so bad...I had Gov right before it, and those reading passages were so boring and complicated, in relation to the ones I did for practice. I was hoping for a 5, but think I got like a 3. I just wanted to crawl up in a ball and die after sitting in testing for almost 7 hours.</p>

<p>Technical difficulties dragged out our test for much longer than it should've taken. School got out of session halfway through our exam (during my group's listening part, no less, which completely distracted me), and kids made a ton of noise during passing.</p>
<p>The fill-ins and listening were much easier than I thought. But even though, for the dialogues, I could understand what was said, I still had trouble keeping it all straight in my head (and I tried writing key info down, but I didn't want to get distracted from the dialogues). </p>
<p>In any case, it was neither good or bad. </p>
<p>I'm hoping for a 4 or 5. I'm just glad I got this one over with, though.</p>
<p>L'examen d'AP me viole!!!</p>
<p>:-P my proctor was horrible... she couldn't figure out how to work a CD player and wouldn't let us help. there were only 2 of us taking it, so they didn't deem us worthy of having the library to ourselves, so there were 3 full classes working in the library while we're sitting there trying to take an EXTREMELY difficult and concentration-worthy test. i was hoping for a 4... i think i probably got a 3. i did pretty poorly on the speaking, my essay was fairly disorganized, and i found it really hard to concentrate while doing the MC. but... you never know. maybe i got lucky.</p>
<p>It was so much easier than I thought it would be. We did a lot of practice from Barron's in class and it was a lot easier than that. At one point though, our proctor added times wrong and told us to stop 20 minutes before we were actually supposed to for the reading comprehension and everyone was freaking out, but she finally realized it..</p>
<p>Urgh I thought the listening was pretty easy overall, except for one or two dialogues. But the reading comprehension completely killed me, I already know I got several wrong...</p>
<p>As for writing it was fairly straightforward, the oral was okay.</p>
<p>I'm hoping for a 5, I think a 4 shouldn't be hard...</p>

<p>I did so horribly...I've been in college for almost 5 months now so I checked out a long time ago...as such, I completely lost any handle on the French language that I had. I was such a bumbling idiot on the speaking part. I probably got a 3, best case scenario a 4.</p>
<p>Ugh...</p>
<p>Just got back home from writing the exam... ugh is all I have to say... ugh. Appears our teacher didn't do a great job of preparing us... bah all I want is a 4 to waive language in university <em>crosses fingers</em></p>
<p>Ahhh I totally screwed up the speaking part! For the second part, I totally could not form coherent sentences, at ALL. And I couldn't really make out the storyline in the first part!</p>
<p>Listening, and the fill-ins were so-so. I thought the reading wasn't bad at all. The essay was ok.</p>
<p>SOOO DIFFICULT!!!!!!!!....especially following the gov exam, which might be the easiest ap ever</p>
<p>Well this is encouraging...I'm taking the makeup version in a couple weeks, I hope it goes ok...</p>
<p>"L'examen d'AP me viole!!!"</p>
<p>you mean "m'a viol</p>
<p>ahhh i thought it was pretty hard.. i dunno, a couple of the dialogues were pretty tough to follow.. but i wrote down info as it went along- so that helped a lot.. (hint to those taking it next year- take notes in dialogues!)
uhmm reading was TOUGH.. but yeah, i think i might've got a lot of those "second" best answers.. oh well.. writing was good tho.. easy topic. mann i hope i atleast get a 3!!</p>
<p>how much do you think it'll mess up my score if i neglected to COMPARE the two images in the speaking? i told it like a story. stupid stupid mistake!</p>
<p>I think half the point of the whole question is so that you do compare the two images using synonyms and antonyms. But then again, the other half is just to get you to speak and form coherent sentences. I wouldn't think you would get penalized too badly as long as you spoke well...</p>
<p>I totally messed up on the last oral question. =(</p>
