AP® French Language

French reading practice can be tough to take on, especially if the review in class doesn’t make you feel fully prepared. But as much as preparing for college, and taking an entire class to prepare for one test can be scary, don’t be discouraged! Finding authentic French text to beef up your French reading practice can seem like a difficult task, but it’s a game changer in prepping for the test.

The AP® French language exam is a beast of its own because it’s not quite what you’re used to. It’s another AP® exam, but with a few twists and turns that are familiar yet completely alien at the same time. You’re taking a test in a whole new language for goodness’ sake!

Getting ready for the AP® French Language and Culture exam is a long process that has a pretty tough reputation. Students across the country tend to think of it as one of the hardest APs even for native speakers. This may be true, and if you’ve registered for this exam you’re certainly asking yourself “Is the French Language AP® hard?”

As an Anglophone learning French, it can be difficult to break into the world of actual French speakers to tune your ear and practice for the French listening exercises on the AP® French exam. Learning another language is difficult and French especially is not a language you usually hear walking around from day to day.
