<p>Well, there's only about 2000 or so of us taking the test every year...or so I hear. So anybody in the same boat - speak up or this thread will die.</p>
<p>What are you guys reviewing? Any predictions what will be on the test this year? L'Enfant Noir? Hopefully no Louise Lab</p>
<p>watch for l'enfant noir and the theme of the mother. also, GdTNPL will probably be somewhere in the explications/dissertations.</p>
<p>Thanks for the insight, apajas. It's only 1 day away <em>eek</em>! And nobody else liked my post <em>snivvle</em>. Anyway, <em>bump</em></p>
<p>I took the exam last year, and you really don't need to know the literature that well. For the MC questions, we had only seen maybe 2 of the passages. On the essays, you could choose one novel out of 2 choices I think. I think I spent too much time going over the poetry for how much it was covered on the test.</p>
<p>I'm hoping that the fact that I actually read all of the texts assigned, I'll do fine, at least on the essay part.</p>
<p>Do they ask questions about the literary trend, such as Platon, etc?</p>
<p>I probably agree - Senior. I don't think they ask "literary end" questions, although a Platon did appear as one of the passages you'd be unfamiliar with on the MC section a few years back.</p>
<p>Last words: the test turned out better than I expected, although I bombed the last passage because I ran out of time.</p>
<p>i guessed a few on the MC questions butthe essay and the questions on the poem was easy. i only saw around 3 passages in the MC questions that i hadn't seen yet. is this just me or were most of them actually listed?</p>
<p>any feedback on the test is hihgly encouraged.</p>
<p>i took the test without reading any of the books. I just found summaries for them on the internet. MC wasn't too bad, first essay sucked, and the second essay wasn't bad either.</p>
<p>what do you need for a 4?</p>
<p>you need a 50% to get a 3....
so, 60%?</p>
<p>The MC sucked ballocks! Specifically, the third or was it the fourth (?) and the last passages. I couldn't understand what the hell that endless blabber was all about. The free response - much better for me. Lots of possibilities. What a way to ruin an almost flawless AP record...</p>
<p>I have no clue what the curve cutoffs are. I didn't even find a single review book for the test. It is notorious for being the hardest and one of the least popular AP's. Oh well, at least I tried.</p>
<p>Damn 60 sec rule!</p>
<p>is it really one of the hardest AP's?</p>
<p>That's what some teachers at my school said that weren't even in the languages department...and it sure was for me, but who knows, maybe they were just consoling me when I said the MC was hard.</p>
<p>yea, usually the language tests are known to be some of the worst</p>
<p>i only read two of the works and found summaries for the others. i gratefully got that essay question on one of the works i read (Candide).</p>
<p>i only passed over the poems and because im a slow reader i remembered some of the poems so skipped the reading part of it. this really saved me a lot of time.</p>
<p>so what happens if we pretty much got perfect and then not to great on the MC questions?</p>
<p>so how did you guys do???</p>
<p>1696 people took the AP French Literature exam in 2004</p>
