<p>On the 2009 AP French Language Exam, a few of the listening section questions in the beginning did not give students ample time to respond. This was discovered by College Board after they reviewed and re-timed each question after many, many French teachers across the US complained to CB about the speed of the listening portion.</p>
<p>College Board has admitted that questions 2 and 3 were too quick, and that when the scores are evaluated, 2-(whichever number deemed necessary) will be omitted for everyone. This is because while only 2 and 3 were too quick, students (like myself) had to answer the next few questions quickly as well in an attempt to go back to complete 2 and 3. The questions deemed "negatively impacted" by this situation based on their statistical analysis will be omitted.</p>
<p>Today, students could choose between these two scenarios:
1. Leave their exams as they are, but College Board will omit the necessary number of questions.
2. Re-take the entire first half of the test (which is the multiple choice section) with a new exam being mailed out to those who want to retake it.</p>
<p>I, personally, will just take my chances with the first attempt... the multiple choice section is the exhausting part (80 questions, including conversation listening, quick rejoinder listening and 6 healthy-sized passages)... It's just kind of a shame that the questions being thrown out are the earlier ones, because the questions progress from easy to hard. Oh well... I'm not subjecting myself to that again.</p>
