<p>None of the French books have a formula for determining 3,4,5. Is there a website or any other book you guys may have that does this for you??</p>
<p>I was curious about this too.</p>
<p>IRAN.4, how/how much did you prepare for the exam? I'm really worried about it...</p>
<p>I need to know this too. My teacher (for our mock exam) gave us an old AP test, but he didn't have a scale for us. He assumed anything above 90% is a 5 but how can this be true? For most APs a 5 is around 75% max.</p>
<p>I'm rather worried now.</p>
<p>Yeah it's more like 60% for 5 considering they heavily curve language tests....</p>
<p>No rubric ANYWHERE???</p>
<p>i cant find it either! anyone know a good site for conjugation help, tho? I don't have time to get a study guide, and that's all i need to brush up on.</p>
<p>why dont any of the books have a rubric?? this is retarded</p>
<p>I agree this is retarded.</p>
<p>Does anyone have <em>any</em> idea? If a 90% is a 5, as my teacher says, then that's pretty darn hard to get. I mean, of course it's a 5, but we want to know the entire range. If <em>only</em> 90% and above is a 5 then this exam is extremely tough.</p>
<p>The curve changes evey year, but I have the one from 1998 right here:</p>
<p>5- 121-160
4- 106-120
3- 82-105
2- 59-81
1- 0-58</p>
<p>If you want the specifics on how many points each section is worth:
Listening- 40 points
Reading Comprehension- 40 points
Function Words- 8 points
Verbs- 8 points
Essay- 24 points
Oral- 40 points (20 for each part)</p>
<p>Again, it changes slightly every year, but this is just to give you a general idea of what you need to get a 5. Hope this helps!</p>
<p>121/160 = 75.625%</p>
<p>Reasonable.</p>
<p>Thanks =)</p>
<p>Is this really correct?</p>
<p>Yes, it looks about right to me; it's reasonable.</p>
<p>anyone other than me not so enthusiastic about the speaking portion of the test?</p>
<p>BTW do you have 15minutes to prepare for the oral, or only 5minutes?</p>
<p>I'm not enthusiastic at all. You get 1.5 minutes to prepare 3 questions, and another 1.5 to prepare 2. </p>
<p>If you want you could pm me your msn/aim ID and we could prep together for the oral :P</p>
<p>i would love to prep for the oral (or anything else) with anyone who wants to. </p>
<p>AIM: ambryllien</p>
<p>heh... you can tell how creative I am.</p>
<p>No less creative than I am ;)</p>
<p>jeez i'm gonna fail. :( oral is the only part i was really worried about and i thought it wasn't worth that much...don't kno why i thought that, maybe wishful thinking? :D</p>
<p>oral sucks. I hate it. XD</p>
<p>Is it me or are the readings really hard to understand??</p>
<p>the readings ARE really hard, but i find that if you practice them they get a lot easier. on the last test i took, i only got 4 questions out of 42 wrong on the readings. :-P i got 7 out of 33 on the listening wrong, though...</p>
<p>ha, i see you guys are hoping for a 5. I am hoping for a 3 :D but i'm actually not even really hoping for that, cuz then it will give me the motivation to take, and pass,the clep test.</p>
