SAT French Preparation

<p>Hey! I'm barely in my 3rd year of french, and I'm cramming like mad crazy with SAT French books.</p>

<p>I was wondering if 2 weeks was enough time to prep? Not like I have a choice anyways. In French class, we barely got through Subjunctive.</p>

<p>I've read about Imperfect, Past of the Past, Future, and Conditional.</p>

<p>I have a few more questions... what's considered an OK score for French?
What should I study the most for French SAT?</p>

<p>You probably shouldn't be taking the SAT II French if you've only read about imparfait, plus-que-parfait, etc. Why the rush?</p>

<p>I'm a senior, not a junior, I started late, so it's not rushing.</p>

<p>I'm doing ok now, i've been studying everyday and I'm getting it.</p>

<p>I just want to know what's considered an OK score for French SAT?</p>

<p>You're probably not going to do well with only 2 full years of French under your belt. Generally speaking, a 700 is equivalent to a 5 on the AP test -- you're still 3 years from taking the AP test (if you were on the traditional schedule) and only about 10 percent of those people get 5s.</p>

<p>It's up to you what kind of score you want for SAT II's. I'd only recommend taking French if you're most prepared for it, but I guess it's too late now.</p>

<p>And yeah. Memorize AS MUCH vocab as possible.</p>

<p>By the way, in general, a score of 700+ is considered very good.</p>

<p>at my school, i'm only 1 year away from taking French AP. Basically, the 3rd year of french is the last year where you learn new concepts. 4th year is just a review of everything from the past 3 years.</p>

<p>I spent 2 weeks learning everything we need to learn in 3rd year. I didn't do terribly bad on the practice test from PR, but... I know it's A LOT easier than the actual test.</p>

<p>I think I'm capable of getting 650 on the SAT II... but I'm going to aim for a 700</p>

<p>So many native speakers take it . very annoying for those who arent native haha.</p>

<p>but yea. you should know more tenses than that. good luck.</p>

<p>I took the French SAT II in October, and got a 600, which was disappointing. I'm in my 5th year of French (AP), and have always done really well. I didn't prepare much for it, just because of a lack of time, but even so, it was just a very difficult test. i don't remember verb tenses being so much an issue as the reading comprehension. i definitely wouldn't have done well with only 2 years of french under my belt..the test is pretty much intended for fluent, even native speakers. good luck!</p>

<p>Hey, you should consider the Rassias Immersions for students. I know that they are doing some at Greenwich Academy in CT in March. Amazing what kids say who have gone through it. I think you can find out at Greenwich Academy but Rassias has a website too <a href="http://www.rassiasgroup.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.rassiasgroup.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>
