How the French 1 tests work

Each test lasts 45 minutes, has 8 questions and totals 20 points, which makes results easy to compare from one chapter to the next. The test on “saying no with ne and pas” checks whether the negative lands in the right place around the verb, and the one on “what time is it? clocks and schedules” asks the student to read a schedule and answer in full sentences. Because every paper is marked with the same guide, a teacher can enter grades without redoing the arithmetic, and a parent can see at once whether “going places and making plans in French” is solid or needs another look. Use the book for end-of-chapter checks during the year, or pull three or four tests together to build a midterm. It pairs with the French 1 lessons and worksheets, which follow the same chapters in the same order.
