<p>bad feeling about me or you</p>
<p>That makes me feel a lot better about my essay. I think I used the imperfect a little too much, and I might have put “a failli (past participle)” instead of “a failli (infinitive).” Oh well. How long was your essay? I filled the 1st page and almost filled the second.</p>
<p>mine was 2 pages and a third - i wrote how teachers teach us not to cheat, and they try their best to prevent kids from cheating. then I wrote how if you speed, a cop isn’t always going be there to catch you. (then idk what I did) i wrote 1. america is too impersonal and teachers and students should be able to go to eachothers houses and be friends (lol) and 2. how sometimes customer satisfaction rules are stupid… like when someone goes to jamba juice and doesn’t want ice once the smoothie is already made, so they have to throw it away, thus wasting food… lol again. is it bad that i wrote that… should deduct more chances from getting a 5?</p>
<p>ppmirmov: I think the prompt was a bit too vague. And I mean bad feeling about myself.</p>
<p>My essay was 2 pages with big handwriting and occasional crossouts, so it might be too short :/</p>
<p>So even though I realized my mistake after starting too early and did it right immediately after, I’ll get a zero on that question? Man, that sucks so bad. They won’t even consider it?</p>
<p>I felt that the listening went far better than I had expected - dialogues in particular. I had never used the preceding thirty seconds in any of my practice tests and they (plus a weekend of French radio) made the dialogues a more pleasant experience. The reading comprehension went surprisingly well, I thought - no omits, though a few questions where I wasn’t comfortable picking between two choices.
I didn’t feel great with the fill-ins, but did the best I could. The comp was painful. I haven’t really liked anything I’ve written recently, but as a paper, it felt particularly bad despite the use of a variety of tenses and si clauses. It was tough to bring in personal examples as opposed to just writing an abstract “rule of law” paper. About 375 words. Speaking - no clue. I think the second set went better than the first, but I ran long on a couple of questions throughout it. All in all: I’ll be surprised to get a five, and surprised to get a three.</p>
<p>hahahaha i failed the fill-in’s. the reading comprehension was completely completely ridiculous too.
i think i did alright on the essay though, i too wrote about the civil rights movement and incorporated Huckleberry Finn. it was about 2-3 pages.
the speaking was alright but i ran out of time on a lot, like i didn’t get to the last panel of the sequence and didn’t really address the right side of the comparison picture.
for the exchanges, the dude with the really deep voice irritated me so much. i couldn’t understand what the heck he was saying</p>
<p>Note: I’m TERRIBLE at French and didn’t plan to take this AP until last Thursday, when I found out my teacher signed me up (■■■).</p>
<p>But, weirdly/in contrast to all of you guys, I thought the reading/listening were the easiest parts of the exam. I breezed through all of them and had plenty of time to think about the lieutenant one. On the other hand (due to the failing at french bit lol), I failed up the verb fill-ins and the essay. I also have terrible pronunciation and probably messed up listening as well. </p>
<p>I’m going to cancel my score though, so w.e. :)</p>
<p>Did you guys think the first fill-in section was obnoxiously easy? I normally average 8-9/15 there, and I’m pretty sure I knew 13-14 of them. o_0.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, that makes two of us. I felt like every other sentence I used was subjunctive, which is DEFINITELY overkill.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Neither did I. Whoops.</p>
<p>July couldn’t come faster… I need to know!! Arg.</p>
<p>The “lieutenant” one? I know we can’t discuss MC questions, but can you tell me which one that was without giving away too much?</p>
<p>Um. The guy who’s talking to the women. Does Gina ring a bell? Ou la marquise?</p>
<p>Is that giving too much away?</p>
<p>I remember now! I don’t think you’re giving too much; that really doesn’t give away the content, just the premise (but this is probably the most you can give). That one was OK for me; there was another one that really threw me for a loop. I think I worked a little too slowly to start; I had to speed up at a 24-minute warning given by the proctor.</p>
<p>Im glad i am not the only one who felt that the exam was overly difficult…I hope i get at least 3, praying for 4…the reading on the last 5 on reading i probably got all of them wrong because i skipped 77 and forgot to skip the bubble…I ended up filling circle 82 only realizing after i finished… reading sucked…listening sucked…i got a different essay than you all…</p>
<p>Speaking was AMAZING THOUGH!! i got 22+/25 for sure…our recording guy messed up and i had 5 minutes to prepare instead of 1.5 mins for the first 3 questions</p>
<p>Haha nice, Azif. I’m jealous about your speaking part!</p>
<p>yeah but everything else sucked lol… I hope the curve is 100/160 for a 4…though in 2003 it was 110… in 1998 it was 106/160
Hopefully it’s low…</p>
<p>@Science Frenchie:
I thought it was difficult. I’ve been taking French since freshman year (07-08). That was one full year. Sophomore year, I moved and my school does semester classes. So I had French II for a semester. This year I am a junior and I had French III for a semester, and this semester, they moved me up to French V because our class is a combination of French V and AP French VI.
So adding up those semesters equals…5 semesters of French.</p>
<p>can someone tell me where they find these curves? it’d be so amazing if it’s lowered to something like 100… was this test definitely harder than the others to make this curve lower?</p>
<p>I’m guessing it probably depends on the number of native speakers, resulting in the higher curve. I don’t know much about it, though.</p>
<p>Oh, and did anyone feel compelled to mention Prison Break for the essay, haha?</p>
<p>is it allowed to ask if a certain preposition was ever the answer in the fill in the blanks section…not saying to which paragraph or anything just if the word should ever have been used? do you think that’s ‘permissable’ according to college board?</p>
<p>^48 hours after you’ve finished the test, you can say ANYTHING about any of the free response. You’re not allowed to talk about any of the multiple choice though…</p>
