<p>Im expecting a perfect fill in, 8/9 essay, 85-95% reading , 80% listening, and a crappy speaking (15/25?), does anyone know what score that should amount to?</p>
<p>I thought the essay was so easy. I was able to incorporate idioms and all of the tenses. Listening, reading, speaking were terrible for me as usual.</p>

<p>to my calculations, that amounts to GTFO.</p>
<p>...5</p>
<p>oh man oh man... I can't believe I made the word year masculine! GAH.
oh well. not expecting much now. plus the speaking... haha. I checked the box to not allow collegeboard use my answers.</p>
<p>i definitely bombed the listening
i skipped like 4 questions</p>
<p>the rest i'm not even 100% sure</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>this is pretty much the first ap test that i did not do well on. this really sucks.</p>
<p>theres a 48 hour rule about sharing test questions isnt there?</p>
<p>blueducky: yes in regards to free response.</p>
<p>I don't know why, but I did absolutely horribly on the third speaking question. ICK.</p>
<p>My essay was well-organized and I'm pretty sure that most of the grammar is correct, but I didn't really get to use many idioms or "interesting" tenses. I had one subjunctive. Hmph.</p>
<p>I think I did well on the fill-ins, though.</p>
<p>i already know that i made some really stupid mistakes. overall, though, i didn't think it was too bad. i didn't like the writing prompt at all, but i did throw in pretty much every tense i know, so that was good. </p>
<p>i accidentally put "ne que" instead of "ne pas" in a part of my essay. with an idiomatic phrase too. in changing the meaning, it makes absolutely no sense within the context of my essay. i used ne que correctly elsewhere. do you think that'll bring down my essay score by a point (or even more)? i normally do really well on the essay, so i'm a little worried.</p>

<p>You'd be lucky to get a 3. </p>
<p>Just kidding.... but seriously o_O</p>
<p>and purplehippo, I wouldn't worry too much over a smaller mistake like that. It's possible that it might hurt your essay score a little bit, but I don't think it should make any difference in the long run (your overall AP score)</p>
<p>ok i'm feeling like i hit at least a 90-93% on the multiple choice (my school's intense, we've been practicing for over a month. Some people get near perfect scores on the multiple choice... i normally miss 4 of 85, but i was more nervous so we'll see). I think i missed 2 of 30 fill ins (stupid function words lol) and i think maybe a 7-9 on the essay (those have been my lowest and highest scores on the practices this year, but i didn't like the topic). I also feel like i messed up speaking, like an 18/25. I hate speaking. It just sucks. Could I still get a 5 even though speaking was sucky?</p>
<p>Wow this is interesting--I've never been to a board about an AP test I've taken that day.</p>
<p>So yeah, I thought everything went well until speaking. The thing that worries me, is that for one of the questions I lost like ten seconds because the buttons didn't press down all the way. It was doing fine when I practiced it, but meh. The thing making me worry less, is that after I got it to work I busted out the fastest French I have ever busted out in my life. So yeah :)</p>
<p>But the speaking part worries me in general because I think I did well with vocab. and pronunciation, but I had a lot of "uhms"... so yeah. I'm looking at the rubric from last year, so maybe I'll end up in the 3-4ish range for ones I stumbled on, mostly because I think the times when I did speak it was pretty fluent. I dunno though. I shouldn't have psyched myself out :S</p>
<p>But at least now I think that I'm less worried for my other AP tests, and now I'm familiar with my testing environment (it's the same class for pretty much all the tests). So... yeah.</p>
<p>anyone know the curve for french?
all i know is that 43% ~ 3</p>

<p>"AP French Language:</p>
<p>Listening out of 42 questions: [#correct - (1/3)* # missed] * 0.9524
Reading out of 40 questions: [# correct - (1/3) * # missed] * 1
Word Fill-ins out of 15 questions: # correct * 0.5333
Verb Fill-ins out of 15 questions: # correct * 0.5333
Essay out of 9 points: score * 2.6667
Speaking out of 25 points: score * 1.6</p>
<p>Add all parts up, and this is your composite score</p>
<p>126-160 = 5
110-125 = 4
82-109 = 3
63-81 = 2
0 -62 = 1</p>
<p>Note: Test is curved by non-native speakers"</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>I totally wimped out in speaking. First of all, I was nervous I'd screw up the recording. Second, I took too much time in telling the story, and didn't even get to the end. It was some of my worst French speaking in recent memory.</p>
<p>From what I've heard from my French teacher, you don't even need to get to the end to get a good grade. You could easily start describing one picture and then veer off to a side-story you made up. She knows this because she went to an AP conference and there they said that just as long students speak the best French they can, the whole story doesn't matter.</p>
<p>Now what would be really bad, would be just not saying anything at all for half of the time. But just as long as you spoke for the full time then your grade isn't going to be as bad as you think it is :)</p>
<p>I don't know how you guys did,
but i was seriously amazed when i found out that i got a 4 on mine!
it was a miracle. i was expecting a 3 at the most... :D</p>
<p>I was hoping for a 4, but thought that I might get a 3. I was shocked (and thrilled) to discover that I got a 5. I guess the curve was nicer than I thought it would be.</p>
<p>nice :D</p>
<p>i knew that i bombed the listening portion, so there was NO WAY i could have gotten a 5.</p>
