AP French

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation

<p>So I've been learning French for a pretty long time, but I didn't take it seriously so you could say I'm basically in first year of French. I want to take the AP French OR SAT French. If I choose the SAT then im taking it next year around December, and if I choose AP I'm gonna take it in 2016 May. My school doesn't offer French, but I am taking a one hour tutor with my French teacher every week.
My plan is to listen to a French radio station everyday as much as possible, watch a few French movies and cartoons on the weekends, write 1 essay per week, practice speaking with my teacher, writing to my penpal, and finish 1 book every 2 months. This summer I'll boost up my French skills by writing 1 paragraph everyday and correcting it with my teacher. I'm thinking about spending at least 1 hour everyday on French this summer.
Questions:
1. Is the SAT easier, or is the AP easier?
2. Do you think I'll be ready for either one?
3. I have the AP Barron's French workbook, does it help for the AP?
4. Any tips you could give me for getting ready for the test/ during the test?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>From my experience, the SAT is easier. I never took AP french, but I achieved a 620 on the french SAT sophomore year after taking french 3, which I got a B in. I did not feel ready for AP french at all. There was no listening on the sat or speaking, just multiple choice.</p>
