<p>I just found out that my school is cutting the French program. Is it to late in the year for a student who is willing to put in the time to self study and get at least a 4?</p>
<p>I’m doing the same thing. I really think that if you really put your work into it, you might get a four or higher. I’m starting from the very beginning. I’m in French 3, but I’m starting with a review book that starts with conjugating the present tense. It has everything. Then, after keeping a rigid schedule of doing at least two chapters per week (there are twenty-eight, and the AP test is in like eighteen or something), I will proceed with the 5 Steps to a Five book. I plan to go through it, do the tests and see how it goes.</p>
<p>I know you might be scared but it doesn’t hurt to try. I’ll post the book I’m using, and if you would like, the schedule that I’m going to go by.</p>
<p>I’m also in French 3. I’m currently preparing by studying 2 hours a day. After finals/ midterms are over at my school I’m going to read and listen to Le Petit Prince and read some RFI articles. I want to try and skype with a native and will probably read “Vol de Nuit” In addition I have Barron’s AP review book to look over.</p>
<p>I started reading Le Petit Prince a few weeks ago. The book that I’m using is called “The Ultimate French Review and Practice” by McGraw Hill. I’m only using this to review and to get refamiliar with stuff I forgot and weak points. Then, I’ll go through a Prep Book (I thought there was a Five Steps to A Five AP French?). Currently, I watch the news and listen to French music. They talk fast. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.</p>
