October 2007 - French

<p>What did you guys think? I found it harder than the REA and Barrons practice tests I did! I'm kinda depressed.</p>

<p>A few questions:
1) The second last question, with the "vante"....what is the advertisement bragging about?
2) Sentence with "vous-offrir la poste" is it lequel or auquel?
3) That whole second paragraph with blanks about the kid's childhood. I found this one really hard (mostly because I blanked on what tuyau en caoutchouc was) Some of my responses I remember (which I'm not at all sure of) were: au robinet, l'(avait with sortir or something), idee geniale, sera
4) Was it acheter "des" gaufres?
5) The french driver....did he not want to follow the rules or not want to follow a robot (automaton)
6) Were there two questions with answers "de bonne heure" in the vocab section?
7) For the saving money one, was it "notre" argent?
8) Taking a walk in the spring....was it se refraichit (sp?)?
9) The one question that was something like "Nous nous sommes amusons _____ tous les amis sont la" and the answer choices enfin que, parce que, and two others with que, did you pick parce que (i thought the others required the subjunctive)</p>

<p>That's all I can think of for now.</p>

<ol>
<li>I don't remeber what I put. </li>
<li>I put lequel. </li>
<li>I thought it was hard as well, but I pretty sure I put Sera.<br></li>
<li>if les was an answer, I think that's what I put or maybe it was des.</li>
<li>I think he did not want to follow the rules, he seemed to be quite rude.<br></li>
<li>de bonne heure. </li>
<li>Notre and I think there was another word. </li>
<li>I'm not sure, but that's what I put. </li>
<li>I think I picked parce que as well based on the fact that the subjunctive starts with que.
What level French are you in?</li>
</ol>

<p>1- ...
2- Auquel des candidats allez-vous offrir le poste ?
3- ...
4- yes
5- He didn't want to follow the automaton
6- " Nous sommes partis t</p>

<p>haha, I did the whole test, answered 3/4, half of which I'm sure I got wrong and walked out. I cancelled my scores since I'm sure I didn't even break 600.</p>

<p>1) dunno, I skipped all the passages because I knew I was walking out
2) put lequel
3) I wasn't sure
4) I put des
5) see 1
6) I put de bonne heure on the first one and was unsure about the second
7) I put tout le notre
8) I put se refraichait, since it means refreshed
9) put parce que</p>

<p>I bombed it as well.</p>

<p>1) umm i think i put 'helps you decide what products to buy' or something like that.
2) auquel...im not sure though. i thought it'd be 'offrir a quelqu'un...right?
3) idee geniale, sera...and yea i totally screwed up on this passage, i still dont know what it was talking about. i also had 'toilette' (totally random guess) and for the last question, i got ville. did anyone else get that?
4) des
5) dont remember, but i didnt put not following the rules cause it said somewhere in the passage that he explicitly said he followed rules or smth.
6) i put both for 'de bonne heure' but i was completely unsure of the second one.
7) notre
8) se refrachait
9) parce que...but i was unsure</p>

<p>urghh i really wanted an 800, but now i think im gonna have to settle for 750 or something. i found the fill in the blanks for the passages really difficult, and that kids childhood paragraph totally screwed me over.</p>

<p>is there a 2007 version of the practice book?
i have the 1994 version.</p>
