<p>On the old AP French Exam, around 80% of the points were needed for a 5. This year, there's a new format for the exam, which is supposedly "easier," or at least more approachable(i.e., less grammar and abstract questions). However, I've heard that many teachers are confused about how to prepare their students for the exam.</p>
<p>So my question is: will the curve be more lenient or more strict(in terms of percent of points one needs for a 5) than that of the released exam(s)?</p>
