June 2006 - French

<p>I placed 2nd in level 4.</p>

<p>I feel inferior compared to you guys :(</p>

<p>Anyone else think that ad for the watch (assuming thats what it was) was kinda weird? It calls it a watch-bracelet, or bracelet-watch, and talks about how watches are useful, but how nice it is, like a bracelet, and then asks if it's a watch or a bracelet? That seemed dumb to me...I said watch tho.</p>

<p>I just finished French V AP Language, thecomisar.</p>

<p>I've never even heard of these nationwide french tournaments. Do you have to have a program in your school to be able to do it?</p>

<p>Your teacher has to be a member of some organization.</p>

<p>Yeah, it's the national French teachers association or something. The teacher pays for the materials for it (we had to each pay $10), and then you can do it.</p>

<p>Really? Ours was free..</p>

<p>Well somebody must have paid for it-- they charge you for the booklets and CD. Maybe you school pays for it...</p>

<p>Hm..yeah, possible. I guess the school paid for it, but we weren't under any obligation to pay for anything.</p>

<p>Question to all who took the French SAT II: What book(s) did you use, and how close were they to the real thing?</p>

<p>Right now I have PR, but somebody told me it's slightly easier than the real thing. The practice questions do seem rather easy...</p>

<p>It's funny, I looked at the vocab words that PR has, and it seemed as if CollegeBoard did too..at least for a few of them. so, def. use it for vocab. It's also important to notice that their hints are not ALWAYS true. Like, they said that in a reading passage, they'll rarely take a word directly from the passage and use it as an answer. in fact, theyll just take synonyms and then put a sucker bait answer that LOOKS like the word that was in the passage. they said dont consider the sucker bait, but I think that that was actually the answer to one of the questions(if that makes sense at all). btw, it was teh question about brouiller, and how they were like water jets, or somthing?</p>

<p>Oh, I know what you mean. Yeah, those hints they give do sound too general.</p>

<p>But I'm glad the vocab is so on-the-mark. I've been spending time memorizing it lately :)</p>

<p>What about the difficulty of the practice tests? Did you take them?</p>

<p>has anyone who took the french subject test taken AP french language? If so, how was the subject test compared to the AP?</p>
