Bonne Chance Tout le Monde!!

<p>woo tan2007 i have almost every single one same as you (including putting en mexique though it should be au. >.< how annoying i doubted myself last second). i only had these few differences, but i could be wrong:</p>

<ol>
<li>i put the same as you, but i was thinking what if it’s lui? but probably not, i think it’s just l’ for ‘him’, not ‘to him’… just doubting myself. XD</li>
<li>also put c’ and i’m wondering if it could be il. but have no idea at this moment</li>
<li>yes i almost put que on the test, but as a very very last minute thing i changed it to dont. :)</li>
<li>really rien? i put aucune, which i think works too?</li>
<li>yay again cuz on the test i almost put lui, but then last minute realized it should be leur. lol. just being happy about that</li>
<li>ahhh was it de? i put des. >.<</li>
<li>i put aurait pu instead of avait pu. dunno</li>
<li>i put a fait instead of avait fait. dunno</li>
<li>also pretty sure and put that, but could it be vient? -no idea-</li>
</ol>

<p>:D so overall pretty good i guess. ;P</p>

<p>Dang I think I missed a lot of these… are the fill-ins really that important?</p>

<p>^ No, it’s like 5% of your grade. I heard you can miss pretty much all of them and still get a 5</p>

<ol>
<li>i put pour?</li>
<li>que, but dont is probably right</li>
<li>i think this is definitely aucune</li>
<li>i put des?</li>
<li>a fait</li>
</ol>

<p>For #15, you change it to “de” if the sentence is negated. And in French, you say "</p>

<p>Very impressive, Tan2007!</p>

<p>Just a few things:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>– Yes, you’re right, it should be “au” (On dit “le Mexique”, hence “au”; but “la France”, which would require the preposition “en”.)</p></li>
<li><p>– Aucune (“no news” (not “nothing news”) = aucune nouvelle</p></li>
<li><p>– Avait faitE [remember to agree the past participle with the direct object, here “la promesse,” if the direct object precedes the verb.]</p></li>
</ol>

<p>30 – Venait. “Venir de” is never used in the pass</p>

<p>Ahhh that makes sense. And yeah, I stand corrected for #13. If it were “rien” it’d be “rien de nouveau”… Oops, lol.</p>

<p>If you want to know how much the fill-ins count for, here’s the formula from the 2008 released exam:</p>

<p>Multiple Choice:</p>

<p>[ Number correct (out of 39) - (1/3 x number wrong) ] * 1.0256= Listening subtotal
[ Number correct (out of 46) - (1/3 x number wrong) ] * 0.8695= Reading subtotal</p>

<p>Free Response:</p>

<p>Function Word Fill-Ins number correct (out of 30) * 0.5333 + Essay (out of 9) * 2.666 + Speaking questions 1-5 (out of 25)* 1.6000</p>

<p>Grade Breakdown:</p>

<p>5: 123-160
4: 106-122
3: 80-105
2: 59-79
1: 0-58</p>

<p>I know that doesn’t help too much, but point of it is… fill-ins don’t count for too much =P</p>

<p>je pense que j’ai rate l’examen, mais, maintenant tout est bien qui fini bien. </p>

<p>i thought the speaking was the only thing that was beast. i totally got dominated by it. but everything else was relatively easy… tho i cant really remember what i put for the FRQs</p>

<p>ok just wondering cause my guidance couselor spoke with me on friday about playback error with the MC questions. Did anyone decide to retake that portion of the test? I chose not to since it was only a few questions.</p>

<p>I’m retaking the listening/reading portion tomorrow. My CD kept skipping so I had to guess on a portion of the reading…so I thought I would just do it again. Plus, I would really hate myself if I hadn’t retaken and got a 4 knowing I was given a second chance…</p>

<p>understandable. Our CD was playing the questions too quickly and my counselor told me it was only affected like 2 questions so that’s why I chose not to but in your case that makes sense.</p>
