AP French study thread!

<p>Exam is almost a month away. I have not started studying and have not paid attention in French all year...yikes. I'm aiming for a 4/5 to place out of the language requirement at my college.</p>

<p>Anyway, us CCers should get together on this thread and help each other study.</p>

<p>What I plan on doing:
-memorize a lot of vocab
-refresh myself on tenses and grammar
-practice speaking and listening?</p>

<p>I'm mostly concerned about the listening and speaking part. I cannot speak French to save my life, so that's probably a huge problem...ideas?</p>

<p>I am soooo totally going to fail this exam....</p>

<p>Parle francais en classe. Je repond a toutes les questions de mon prof, et ca m'aide. Mais je ne sais pas comment je peux augmenter ma vocabulaire. Peut-etre je devrais lire une chose comme Harry Potter en francais? Et apres je pourrai faire les "spells" et le "magic" en francais! :D</p>

<p>La seule chose que je pense je dois practiquer est la redaction; je n'ecris pas souvent avec un limit de temps comme ca. Je fais beaucoup d'erreurs stupides. Aussi, je practiquerai avec mon Barron's AP French livre, mais pas beaucoup parce que je n'aime pas etudier. :D</p>

<p>yea. im going to fail. I already do everything mikey104 requested. the only way to improve your vocab is to read short stories in french. each week we have to read short stories and answer questions on them. we also have redactions to take home and do w/in a 50 min time period. There are eight tricks that AP readers love to see. Im not going to share them with you unless you ask me in a pm. =P</p>

<p>Hey, I made this thread awhile ago (<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-subject-tests-preparation/606285-general-tips-thread-sat-french-subject-test.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-subject-tests-preparation/606285-general-tips-thread-sat-french-subject-test.html&lt;/a&gt;) but I've heard that my advice for the SAT Subject Test could help for the AP test. Good luck :)</p>

<p>P.S. Je vais passer l'examen cette annee aussi. On va tout a fait s'amuser beaucoup, j'suis sur :)</p>

<p>Im concerned about the speaking part… could I still get a 4 even if I have poor speaking skills???</p>
