Title: Well, it's better than nothing...
Review: 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.
