<p>Any tips for taking French w/o listening? This is my 7th year with French but have no idea what to expect!</p>
<p>I hear it’s relatively difficult; however, the standard for it is comparably lower than other tests. Supposedly, a 700 is decent for Harvard: they will accept it in a placing. Well, good luck!</p>
<p>french standard is not lower at all. its 800 percentil is 90% which means it is pretty easy compared to other tests (all the academics are over 90 and many languages like latin, german and spanish).</p>
<p>No, the percentile is actually 92% You are looking at the French with listening; and compared to other tests, it’s actually more difficult. All the widely taught languages (Latin and Spanish) other than French is 94% or higher while every other subject except for Math 2, are all higher than French percentage (except Physics, which ties at 92%) With listening, there are deviations seeing listening to French is so much easier than listening to languages such as Chinese, obviously.</p>
