<p>Is this a good idea?? at our school, we have french 1, french 2, french 3 french 4, french 5, AP french. French 5 and AP french are basically a regular/honors relationship so most people take either 5 or AP.. french 5 is not a prerequisite of AP french. </p>

<p>I am however a rising junior and will be taking french 3. i have been told that French 3 is crucial whereas french 4 is not as important in the long run. I am deciding whether to study french 4 over the summer and skip to AP french or not... will this be too hard for me?? especially because the AP exam for French is really hard..</p>

<p>At my school, French 4 is really just cultural/review stuff. Nothing new is learned in it, but AP French is not offered here so we can't skip it. </p>

<p>The AP test is REALLY hard. I was going to self-study it and once I looked at it.... no way. You should find out if the AP French students at your school have generally done well on the test, and if the teacher is a good teacher. If so, then I think you should study French 4 over the summer and take AP in your senior year. If you are good at French, then go for it.</p>
