Truth in advertising: You are probably not going to learn anything much new over the weekend. You've been working all year to get ready to take the AP French Language Exam. You know this stuff! (And if you don't, go ahead and blame your teacher.)
Now, it is entirely possible that you are feeling pretty nervous. These exercises will, I hope, help you to get your nerves under control so that you can do your very best on the exam.
Below, you will find interactive activities in 4 separate categories: vocabulary, grammar, listening comprehension, and written production. Once you've finished going through the activities, feel free to try the practice exam.
Bon courage! Tout ira bien!

I GRAMMAR
|
Instructions: Most of the grammar points below have multiple exercises. Please do the exercises for each point in order. If you are satisfied with your results on the first exercise for a certain point, you probably do NOT need to do all of the exercises. If, however, you struggle with the first exercise, you should probably do the second exercise. If you struggle with the second exercise, you should probably do the third exercise.
Don't waste your time, but don't get frustrated if you have forgotten how to do something! These exercises are designed to guide you through each point and help you to remember what was covered in your AP class.
All of these activities were created by me, unless otherwise noted.
All of the online, interactive exercises are self-correcting. Answer keys are provided for all of the written exercises.

V PRACTICE EXAM
|
Finished everything? Still nervous? Calm down (seriously, watch some TV or something...) If you really, really still feel stressed out, try the sample test below. Then eat something (preferably chocolate), pet a cat, or go to sleep.
Everything is going to be just fine. I am very, very proud of you for making it this far.
This is only a test. Learning a second language is a lifelong commitment.
It is worth it. Someday, you'll feel everything suddenly click into place. It is the best feeling in the world.
Bon courage et ne perdez jamais espoir! Encore un petit effort et vous y arriverez!!!
Je suis très, très fière de vous.
