French sample questions

by Jennifer Y

Feb 8, 2011

Carol - are you taking the exam on 2/19? I am self-taught in French and am taking the CST in Feb. for the first time. I was given a study guide by a woman at a local college. She basically gave me a list of "cultural" things to study, a list of adjectives to know to detect the tone of reading passages, and 7 common speaking tasks from the past. I've made notes for each of the cultural items, and have practiced the speaking tasks, trying to say as much as possible in 2 minutes. Are there any specific questions that you remember?!?!? I hope some of what I'm studying is on this test. This is what I was sent and what I'm studying.

ADJECTIVES: Solennel fâché content ennuyé tranquille assuré desorienté ravi navré effrayé confus épuisé heureux excité solitaire nerveux pressé triste angoissé servile enjouée
