<p>I am going to be taking the test when I get to UCLA in September, I havent done french in like 2 years, im soo rough, like my pronounciation is still good, but Ive forgotten alot of terminology. I just want to know the difficulty level of the test, and whats involved in the test, avoir et etre? simple terms, or what? anyone who took the test in orientation, what is it mostly i would have to relearn and stuff?</p>
<p>You don’t have to do any speaking and stuff. It’s just multiple choice and then listening. I think it was basically all typical grammar stuff, but I think it’s easier than the AP test. I would just look over an AP review book or something similar and stuff. I think it involves all main verb conjugations (so you have to know more than avoir and etre o_O;;)</p>
<p>it’s pretty challenging if you’ve been out of french for a while. i’d gone a year without french (i went through french 4 in high school), i didn’t study at all, and i got placed into level 3. merde. this was a few years ago, but i don’t imagine they’ve changed it much. at least you won’t have a nurses’ protest outside of your testing room to distract you!</p>
<p>what i remember being on the test (and i don’t remember much)
-listening comprehension
-reading comprehension (three or four passages. there was a passage from le petit prince, which i’d read in high school thankfully)
-grammar questions, fill in the blank with the right conjugation, etc
-a vocab section</p>
<p>i wish vocab had counted for more, it’s far easier to recall vocabulary than it is grammar. so study hard! </p>
<p>bon chance :)</p>
<p>oh mann this is going to be harder than i thought. im hoping 4 weeks is enough for me to jamm knowledge down, if you get into french 4, do you only need 1 quarter and thats it?</p>
<p>you have to complete levels 1-3 in order to fulfill the requirement. so if you get placed into 4, you’re done. i got placed into 3, which meant i had to take a quarter of french 3 (even though it was all redundant stuff from high school).</p>
