<p>I got 5th place in the US and 4th place in Virginia. Anyone else place?</p>
<p>Is there a ranking online that we can see or a website for this exam?</p>
<p>Too bad we don't have this exam in Canada, otherwise I'd rank first :p (as long as the competition doesn't include Quebec! :))</p>

<p>is it easier than ap french or sat2french?</p>
<p>I've never even heard of this!</p>
<p>That ain't fair.</p>
<p>i got a 5 on ap french. and 760 french (selfstudied both).how about you?</p>
<p>I've taken National Spanish Exam. :) 2nd in State for Level 2. Pero je voudrais francais tambien (my tex-mex french.)</p>
<p>National Exam? You ought to be kidding me. I thought there was only Latin Exam and that's it.</p>
<p>i got commended last year. The award was a "Certificat de Reussite".</p>
<p>There's also a Nat. Spanish Exam for levels 1-6. I just took it this week, so I don't know my scaled scores or percentages. But, the %age I got correct was 80% Achievement, 76% Proficiency (for level 5/AP) And, yes, these tests are WAY harder than the CB's SAT IIs and APs.</p>
<p>I got 14th in the nation last year. My friend was like 2nd or something. She went to the national awards ceremony. And got a free folder. :(</p>
<p>I'm taking it (level 4) on Wednesday.</p>
<p>"I'm taking it (level 4) on Wednesday."</p>
<p><em>high five</em> I'm taking level 4 on Thursday.</p>
<p>But how could the OP have the results already if we haven't even taken it yet??</p>
<p>I could win Japanese or Chinese exam.</p>
<p>hey, i took this a few weeks ago :)! </p>
<p>didn't know the results were out THAT quickly yet... i think the op was talking about last year, maybe?</p>
<p>One thing I was wondering about... do they let kids take it who are native French speakers? Because that would be completely unfair :p haha</p>
<p>thecomisar. There's no need to worry. The exam's not about winning. It's to promote the foregin language and its culture. So they provide opportunities for all levels of speakers. </p>
<p>For Spanish, There are three divisions. First are those who are bilingual (usually natives who are amazingly fluent). Next it's the "outside experience category", those who have lived in a hispanic country for like a month, or know some other romance language at home. I was like most people learning spanish and was put in the regular division.</p>
<p>It's not about winning? haha :) I know what you mean, but why is it called a contest then? XD</p>
<p>Anyway, I just did it this morning... wasn't too bad.</p>
<p>how do you register for this?</p>
