French Lit: Advice for an independent study?

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation
1

<p>I am taking both French Lang and French Lit as an independent study next week. I am not too worried about the Language, as I've been studying and even though the AP is not offered at my school, several students are taking it this year. So, the teacher's doe some practice stuff, etc. However, for Lit, no one's taken it in years and no one really knows much about it. I've been studying like crazy, using practice exams, writing essays, reading, etc. I've read:
Candide, Ecole des Femmes, L'Etranger, lots of Jean de la Fontaine, Guy de Maupassant short stories, and lots of the poems from the reading list.</p>

<p>Anyone have any last minute advice for me? I'm freaking out!</p>

<p>Let me know how it goes and what works for you, this is a class I want to self-study during my senior year (i'm a sophmore now). </p>

<p>Good luck to you!</p>

<p>You should at least know the three major novels.
Candide is one but you also need "Pierre et Jean" by Maupassant i think and "L'enfant noir" by Camara Laye...
I would have read at least one more novel because if the 2 choices suggested for essay topic are the books you havent read...it will hurt your grade bad (25%)
otherwise, you sound on track
I am basically making flash cards of each work of literature and reading like you.
Good luck</p>
