Dec Sat Ii French Official Board

<p>Jrock you had the same test as me... I remember those two questions. I got those wrong as well. Do you have AIM? We could talk more on AIM</p>

<p>yeah, i do. just click on the AIm icon under my pers. info to add me to your buddy list</p>

<p>jo'burg's ok, i live in pta though. as for the certificat de naissance, 'la mairie' is correct (town hall is where u get your birth certificate, not customs). as for the douleur thing, i also guessed ameliorer. damn.
i hope i get above 750</p>

<p>thanks, what a relief [soupir soulager - saw this expression a thousand times b4 the exam and never got around to checking it up. if i had, i'd have got the 'douleur' thing].....i instantly forgot about douane cos i just didn't know it. but mairie came to me from one french novel we'd read, about a guy who went to get his certs. at the mairie, so it was spontaneous....when i checked the dict. for mairie and saw town hall, y'know, in some places, that could also mean like the mayor's office, lol....that's a big relief, 1 point....</p>

<p>i'm hoping too for 750+, a 770 would be stunning to me personally</p>

<p>what about the gel pictorial?</p>

<p>Are you sure about the tasse de the thing? I was almost positive it was du.</p>

<p>yeah, it's tasse de the...i checked my dictionary.</p>

<p>it's referring to the cup of tea, not that the cup is filled with tea.</p>

<p>de the refers to a tea cup, du the would mean there was some tea in there.</p>

<p>although I could be wrong.</p>

<p>The French SAT was VERY hard IMO. The grammar was outrageous and the reading passages were hard.</p>

<p>teacup = tasse a the
cup of tea = tasse de the, a la verre de vin</p>

<p>a cup of tea should mean of cup filled with tea....could please remind me of the actual question again? forgotten....</p>

<p>but i'm sure u would agree with me that the last reading passage, about the vacances a la campagne was the easiest of all [a good break from the tensed up thing] and the final pictorial was too good to be true...</p>

<p>haha yes i agree. I was about to give up but I decided to just try to finish, the last 2 were easy. I think I only answered a little over 40 total though, maybe more, I just know I skipped A LOT</p>

<p>what did you think about the hand gel pictorial?</p>

<p>I thought that was pretty good. It was the laundry thing right??</p>

<p>And does anyone know what the curve will be? Because I have a feeling that I did really dismally on it. =/ My brain just wasn't clicking with much of the passages and the pargraph fill-ins.</p>

<p>don't know, but it should be similar to that in the CB sat2 book...</p>

<p>Does anyone remember what the answer to the first paragraph-fill in was? It was "sans que rien ne ____...." Was it puisse or peut?</p>

<p>yeh my brain wasnt working either:( and the vocab section was quite a shock! i haven't done french for twoyears but i did do four years of it previously...and then crammed for the last two weeks.- guess that wasnt such a good iea..</p>

<p>damn...looks like a retake injan!</p>

<p>chillaxin, i said puisse, although i now think it's wrong...</p>

<p>puisse is correct. sans que always takes the subj....i also checked it out in my dict. after the exam</p>

<p>whew... i thought it was wrong...</p>

<p>For repondre a la question, is it y repondre or lui repondre? And was the question in the paragraph fill-in about les problemes de dispute (or something like that) en finir (or something like that?)</p>

<p>i can't exactly remember the context of the question....what was it? but i think i chose y, but lui could also be correct but i can't remember the question...since repondre always takes the prep. a, then the pronoun could be lui or y, but i can't remember the q, sorry</p>

<p>and about the other one, i can vaguely remember the question as well, if 'en' was in the passage before the dash, then the answer should be in the present part....but if en is part of the options, i can't remember anything at all about that one too, but i remember the passage. if only you could remember the options, i'd most likely be able to recall it...</p>

<p>Do a lot of native speakers take this test? cause I wanna take it but Im afraid of native speakers :(</p>
