December 2009 SAT Subject Test: French

<p>To be fully in effect after the CB silence period! ^^</p>

<p>I took it along with Lit and Math Level IIC, haha. I actually hadn’t signed up for it at first, but then after my other two tests I found that I still had energy, and since I’m fluent in French I thought to myself, “Well, why not?” I ended up writing the test, and found it ridiculously easy (it’s probably going to be the only confidence booster when my scores arrive lol!), but then again that’s just me. </p>

<p>If any of you have specific questions, I’ll most likely be able to answer them for you. (answered all; omitted none)</p>

<p>I was wondering about the question with a blank beside the pas?
Sorry I don’t remember the question clearly. The choices were jamais, d</p>

<p>for the reading comp what did the passage say about Blanche’s mother? I put she didn’t want to leave her family?</p>

<p>was it saisir a admiration or saisir d’admiration?</p>

<p>for the the first reading comp question about the ad to the museum, how did they attract visitors and what services did they provide?</p>

<p>I put d</p>

<p>@ 1verse: The answer was ‘toujours’.</p>

<p>@ vanillasky123: Blanche’s mother was proud of the place she was born in… that’s why there was the word “fierte” when she was saying how she was not born in the countryside.</p>

<p>“Saisir d’admiration” was correct. </p>

<p>They attracted visitors by highlighted points of interest and by providing informational services.</p>

<p>thanks fledgling.
I didn’t understand the passage about the Gestapo at all. Could you summarize what it was about?</p>

<p>@ 1verse: From what I could tell, that story was most likely about WWII and the persecution of Jews, and the narrator was most likely a Jew trying to escape unnoticed. So he basically made his way across a kitchen, but none of the women cooking saw him because they were too busy. He walked across the courtyard before stepping out into a small street. He thought whether he could go to a nearby doctor’s house to seek refuge, but then he saw that he couldn’t move much because the streets were filled with people and horse carriages. All of a sudden, he saw this carriage with this adolescent boy he recognized sitting at the back, sandwiched in between two police officers. The boy had been arrested.</p>

<p>thanks fledgling! sigh 5 omits, -3 there goes my 700 :frowning: do you remember the second to last question about the Concorde?</p>

<p>I thought the reading comp was pretty difficult :-/ and one of the grammar fill ins was weird… the one with the mom and angel/kid i think? @fledging do you remember the answers to those?</p>

<p>Second to last question… the one predicting the future based on what the author thought about the Concorde? I put that he was predicting space exploration… if that’s not the question you’re referring to, please tell me. </p>

<p>Yes, I remember a rather dubious question about the mother/kid passage, and I found it weird even though I’m completely fluent, so you shouldn’t feel bad. Was it the first one, “l’an passe _______” etc.? I was debating between two choices on that one, but eventually I went with “semblait”.</p>

<p>I think that was the last question… there was one before that… one of the answer choices was longer than the others “<em>__d’</em>_” sorry I have a really poor memory… </p>

<p>I chose semblait too! yea I had trouble the most trouble with that mother/kid passage. do you remember any more questions from that besides the vocab question and the qui/que one?</p>

<p>I’m so glad that I’m not the only one who was like ? at that fill in
If most people miss a question does collgeboard take the question out? or does it stay?</p>

<p>I think the decision one was "qu’ ". </p>

<p>And I remember putting "d’ " for one of them.</p>

<p>The Concorde one still isn’t ringing any bells… =|</p>

<p>is it just me or was the french test really really hard? (specifically the vocab)
I cant belive that i found even the fill-in-the-blanks difficult. reading comprehension by itself is already hard.
Does collegeboard curb subject tests?</p>

<p>well I’m talking about the only question in concorde that had d’ so that’s probably it. you mean for the qui/que question it was q’? </p>

<p>“le mercredi”?
what about the last grammar question with “le, les, des, --” </p>

<p>yea I thought the test was really really hard and i studied from barron’s too… vocab was ok I think. for me it was that one grammar passage and the reading comp…</p>

<p>yep they do!</p>

<p>“le mercredi” is right. </p>

<p>The last grammar question was “les”.</p>

<p>The test in the blue book was a bit easier, I’d say. But today’s wasn’t all that bad, really.</p>

<p>So, what did y’all think of the French SAT II? Personally, I thought it was uber hard :[</p>

<p>yes, the passages!</p>

<p>I thought that the grammar sections were pretty easy. Some of the passages threw me off though</p>
