How the French 4 tests work
These tests are more demanding than earlier years: the one on “would have, could have, should have in French” asks for forms and also for sentences that carry a meaning, and “mood choice after common conjunctions” puts the student in front of a mood decision with no hint. Writing chapters are tested as writing. A student answering the “writing polite formal letters and emails” test produces a short formal paragraph, and the guide says how many points go to register, grammar and content. The test on “Négritude: three poets and the words of identity” checks reading, with questions that depend on understanding words, not just spotting them. The guide splits marks question by question, which makes feedback specific. Teachers can use the book to track progress during the year, and independent students can time themselves and mark their own papers.
