includes a listening component The French Subject Test with Listening is offered only on selected dates and at specific locations The reading only test is the one that is offered on national test

French The level of difficulty varies since the test is based on the secondary school curriculum and is usually taken by students who have had from two to four years of French The test consists of 85 multiple choice questions Following are examples of the question types with explanations Vocabulary in Context In this type of question you are given an incomplete sentence and asked to fill in the blank with the word or expression that best completes it EXAMPLE 1 Je voudrais manger tout de suite j ai extr mement A fin B app tit C faim D chaud The answer is C j ai extr mement faim I am extremely
