4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad.., June 1, 2002
By Jason (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
I'm French, although I haven't spoken French in a while. I decided to buy this book as a quick review for the AP French Language exam. I found it to be quite helpful, and it had a lot of practice. However, it was disturbing that the book made some egregious grammatical errors, mostly on the verb fill-ins.
Nevertheless, a good prep tool. Cassettes will definately come in handy.

5.0 out of 5 stars I recommend this book enthusiastically, July 23, 2000
By A Customer
I am a student who used this book to study for the AP French exam . I found the review material excellent. The tapes prepared me for the listening comprehension well and the questions asked were similar to those asked on the actual exam. The book also gives you useful advice on what the examiners are looking for in your essay, which, along with the speaking section counts for 50% of your score. With the help of this book, I was able to receive a score of 5 on the exam!

1.0 out of 5 stars Well, it's better than nothing..., May 7, 2000
One of the only study guides for the AP French Language Exam, Barron's does give sample tests and at least an idea about what the exam will be like. However, I have prepared for several other AP exams using "Cracking the AP" by the Princeton Review. These books are much more readable and take an approach of "beating the test." Barron's, by Laila Amiry, seems to be written for AP teachers, not students trying to improve their score. She begins by suggesting ways to, over a long period of time, improve your listening and comprehension skills. While this is a noble thought, as a student right now I am much more interested in getting a four, not on watching numerous movies in French. Especially if the exam is approaching quickly, Barron's is not worth the cost. This is a plea for some book company to write an informative, fun book on how to "beat" the AP French Language Exam.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good!
For the price the book is excellent, it provides good listening practice with 3 Cds, and it is helpful to improve the reading skills with hard paragraps.
