<p>Basically, I'm scared for the listening/talking sections. i get around 60% of the listening exercises (in Barron's) right. </p>
<p>Any last minute advice? Should I take 2 hours of my time to listen to French news, etc, or should i focus on my other AP's?</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>I'm scared. I've just been looking over my textbook, which is mostly a collection of trivial grammatical rules. </p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>I have it as well:(I'm so nervous because all I want is 3!! The Barron's book we have came with listening tapes and they are so much slower than the actual test...
Recently, I have been listening to online french radio stations and watching french tv shows, bu they really haven't seemed to have been helping me.</p>
<p>yea i'm fine with the writing/reading sections</p>
<p>they just talk too fast for me and i hate how they give you 12 secs to answer each question, and then you have to move on</p>
<p>i guess there's not much i can do now.</p>
<p>wdrmhbs:</p>
<p>Don't fret! Past results indicate that 43% is enough to get you a 3. You'll be fine.</p>
<p>I really want a 5... but who doesn't?</p>
<p>Hah well with my school it's rare to get 3s or more on the french exam. Last year I think only 2 people scored 3. I don't really think it's our teacher either because she is great. Haha oh well. I should think positive! Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>I am not looking forward to this.</p>
<p>BasilofBakerST, i agree with the 5 thing and how do u know the percentages?
my teacher keeps giving me 8/9 for the compositions we do in class
and that really got my hopes up</p>
<p>but i do so horribly in the listening sections.
at least this year they print the questions on the tests</p>
<p>i am scared merde-less...anyone else gonna take tmrw off of school to study? (it's an afternoon exam but i dont even know what time it is...yet...)</p>
<p>The percentages are based on results from the past few years, during which time the test hasn't changed dramatically, as far as I can tell.</p>
<p>our teacher told us specifically to NOT study today (sunday)
and go watch a french movie...</p>
<p>like that'd really help -_-</p>
<p>how'd u get the past results? google searches give me nothing</p>
<p>good luck everyone!
i'm nervous too!
BONNE CHANCE TOUT LE MONDE! :)</p>
<p>barron's est toujours plus difficile...je pense.<br>
je vais le rater</p>
<p>What I've done for listening: I've listened to RFI's Francais Facile everyday (lol, was going to type chaque jour).</p>
<p>Good thing is that today I did my last FRQ and I only missed 1 verb (out of stupidity), but 6 words...meh</p>
<p>For me I think the listening will be like "Bonjour Marie alsdkfjalskdfjalzcvxczf je vais aller au stade qpewruipqieur", then I'll guess B</p>
<p>In like 3:40 ahhh!</p>
<p>I've been on exchange in France for two weeks, so I decided that that was enough studying for me. Ha, ha.</p>
<p>Ahh lucky haha:D</p>
<p>Haha I'm considering this test to be a joke. The only preparation we had in class was the one practice test we took that was counted as our final. After the teacher told us she didn't expect more than a 2 from us, I just gave up. I haven't studied and plan on enjoying my last moment of high school french!</p>
<p>ahh that was surprisingly difficult... </p>
<p>I usually do well on the essay but I didn't get to show off my idioms because of the topic -_- and I haven't practiced listening in my class so I kind of winged it and am hoping for the best! The reading was moderate--at least the passages were sort of interesting. And then the speaking is always pretty bad for me so yeah, I hope I can pull off a 3.</p>
<p>Listening and speaking were rough. Everything else was alright, I thought. Hoping for a 4 at this point.</p>
