<p>S got 5s on AP Spanish Language, AP French Language, and AP French Lit. He was also nationally ranked on the Grand Concours, and 1st in the state on same. He got a 780 on the French SAT II w/o listening. A student at the HS who had just spent a year studying abroad in France got the same score. To my mind, that indicates that the SATII is pretty tough. I would have thought he could pull an 800. (Not, I hasten to add, that there is anything wrong with a 780.)</p>
