Barron's AP French Language and Culture with MP3 CD Second Edition

Redoing this review because I really had no idea how to write a proper review then (this was like my very first review haha).So this AP Barron's French Language and Culture book comes with a very helpful CD, full of mp3 listening tracks, most of which are 1-3 minutes long. These listening exercises go along well with the detailed exam section specific book chapters, and will allow you to get used to hearing a variety of French accents/dialects (you really want to get used to almost anything the AP throws at you; sometimes you get decent Parisian speakers at a good pace, other times Spanish-tinged Basque Country accents that are a little harder to follow, or Quebec Canadian...just be prepared. Give yourself enough time to adequately go through everything in the book and the CD and you should do well.)The book itself is surprisingly thin and it could go into more detail with regards to grammar and conjugations, but Barron's has a small yellow French book dedicated to the finer nuances of the language's grammatical constructions.You get two practice tests with this book and various practice sections scattered throughout. I would write down what sections the book offers, but that would be redundant (see bottom of product listing; it's already there). Each practice test (and the real exam) will take between three and four hours to complete, as there are pure reading sections, reading and listening, pure listening, and writing with reading, writing with listening and reading, and also conversations (talk to a computer, prerecorded, 20 seconds before switching off).

Well-constructed overview of the AP exam. Each section offers example test questions with exemplary answers. Oral practice and listening practice make use of CD portions. Two example exams allow for actual timed practice. Provided answers are helpful. Can be used by both teachers and individuals in preparation for the exam.

The reading and listening practice questions were very useful. The level of difficulty was accurate to the AP exam, and this book helped me get a 5.

I'm a teacher and this is the best AP prep resource I have found so far for my students.
