OCTOBER SAT Subject Test: French

<p>well i must say you have an excellent memory unlike me who barely remembered anything..
i skipped around 8 my first time and got 610...really hoping that the curve thing is reletively accurate
did you find the vocab section hard? the first maybe 7 were easy, then i ran into like 6 that i just purely guessed on <em>sigh</em></p>

<p>1) for the animado service one...
did anyone find it strange that one of the answer (c. i think) was like "at the animado" or something? I chose that as the answer but was it a trick question because it seemed just too easy.</p>

<p>2) someone mentioned a "chaleux" question..can someone remind me exactly what the question asked (i think it was vocab question)</p>

<p>I know! I picked C, too!</p>

<p>You're right.
It must have been a trick...</p>

<p>:( :( :(</p>

<p>Yeah the first vocab section started out sooo easy then was like "wut"? After "gonfler" it went downhill, lol. </p>

<p>It's weird how ridiculously easy I find the grammar section, which I assume is supposed to be fairly advanced, while the vocab is like... impossible. I guess my school's curriculum focuses more on grammar than vocabulary?</p>

<p>What question had "gonfler" in it?</p>

<p>The balloon one. Where it was someone's birthday. Last one on the first page.</p>

<p>Oh... I know what you're talking about.</p>

<p>I don't remember what I put, though...</p>

<p>Was "gonfler" one of the answers?
What were the other answer choices?</p>

<p>"Gonfler" was one of the choices; I guessed it and looked it up later. "Respirer" was another choice, which was kinda tempting. Since you do breathe into balloons... lol.</p>

<p>I think I put "respirer" on that one.</p>

<p>Doesn't "gonfler" mean "swollen"?</p>

<p>[url=<a href="http://www.french-linguistics.co.uk/dictionary/%5DFrench"&gt;http://www.french-linguistics.co.uk/dictionary/]French&lt;/a> Dictionary (Dictionnaire franais-anglais)<a href="I%20can't%20link%20directly%20to%20the%20page">/url</a> gives me:</p>

<p>
[quote]

2 gonfler Verb, intransitive (a) to swell

</p>

<p>So yeah I guess "gonfl</p>

<p>Looks like I got another question wrong...</p>

<p>Don't worry, Poseur. You probably got an 800, and I probably got a 200...</p>

<p>:(</p>

<p>Naw, I've missed lots, too. Hopefully the curve is nice...!</p>

<p>Does anyone remember questions with the words "cirer" and "creuser?"</p>

<p>The questions are getting hazier and hazier in my mind so it's harder to remember! :(</p>

<p>The answer to the balloon question is gonfler, and the nutrition bars are found at a pharmacy. I marked the choice (I think D?) that said they were "bon sain" which means:</p>

<p>"sain, ~e /sɛ̃/, /sɛn/ adjective gen healthy, sound;"</p>

<p>which sounds about right. </p>

<p>I answered 84 out of 85 questions; the only one I didn't answer was the one with the beast and the four m-words.</p>

<p>J'ai </p>

<p>for the nutrition bars, what was the most appealing aspect of it?</p>

<p>i said something about it stimulating the appetite</p>

<p>It was choice D I think... something about "le bon sain."</p>

<p>Hey, how did you guys all do? </p>

<p>I got a 720... I am REALLY happy. (I got a 590 in May!!!)</p>

<p>Can't wait to tell ma professeur. :D</p>

<p>710! WOOT was expecting like 650... the one practice I did was a 600!
It's nothing like our french here, we just get taught how to write and we use massive dictionaries in our exams!</p>

<p>670 :/ shouldn't have guessed on like every question. It was also my last of 3 tests. Oh well, at least it's the least important of my subj tests.</p>

<p>I got 740 :D much better than my 620 last time.
is 740 really good? (for top unis) because my other SAT II's are all 800's...</p>
