Using Standards and Tags to Find Questions

Standards

All questions in Albert’s AP® French Language course are aligned to skills and learning objectives from the Course and Exam Description.
This standards-alignment provides another easy way to find useful questions besides the Theme and Topic organization. Using the Standards button at the top left corner of any subject page, you can search for any standard from the CED to find all questions in our course library aligned to that standard! For more details, please see this article in our Help section.
In addition to searching by the standards’ names, you can also search by their content! Simply type in a few words from the standard description to see all relevant standards pertaining to that content.

Tags

Albert’s AP® French Language includes Mode of Communication, Stimulus Type, and Content Specific tags. These are words or phrases that provide information about what a question covers, such as world-artistic-heritage, or Interpretive. Tags provide another easy way to search for relevant content in our course library. Simply search using the Tags button at the top left corner of any guide level.

Question Types
