YellowSpider Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Is it a good idea for me to take AB-initio french for ib?i didnot opt for igcse french but i got a 90 in boards for frenchso is it a good idea? what boards? go through the SL french papers, if you think the level of difficulty is too high then stick to ab initio, but if you're good at writing and have a good vocab and stuff like that, you can move up to SL.. in my school, whoever took french in the IGCSEs cannot do ab initio french.. just look into that as well, alright Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

by.andrew Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 I suggest you take SL (or even HL!) as well if you have prior knowledge of the language. 90 on a exam already suggests that you are pretty good with Francais. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBKID4lyf Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Before you make a choice I would suggest that you look at both French SL and HL past exams and that way you will really be able to see what you feel comfortable doing Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
