CLEP French Language Practice Test 1

The official CLEP French Language exam (Levels 1 and 2 combined into a single score) contains approximately 121 questions in 90 minutes, each with four answer choices (A--D), delivered in three separately timed sections: Section I, Listening --- Rejoinders (15% of items) and Dialogues and Narratives (25% of items), both built from audio recordings played once or twice; and Section III, Reading --- Discrete Sentences (10%), Cloze Passages (20%), and Reading Passages and Authentic Materials (30%). Because this is a printed book, it cannot reproduce the exam's audio-based Listening section; the listening skills it tests (register recognition, spoken numbers and liaison, and gist/detail/attitude comprehension of dialogues and narratives) are covered in this book's companion Quick Review but are not retested here as static print items. This practice test instead offers a full-length, proportionally weighted set of 72 original multiple-choice items covering everything the exam tests in print form: Part A, 12 discrete-sentence items testing grammar and vocabulary in isolation; Part B, 3 cloze passages (24 items total, 8 numbered blanks each) testing grammar and vocabulary in short connected texts; and Part C, 6 reading passages and authentic documents (36 items total) --- a caf\'e dialogue, a personal email, an event poster, a news article, an online forum discussion, and a literary narrative --- spanning beginner (Level 1) through advanced (Level 2) difficulty. Every passage is written entirely in original French; read each one fully before answering its questions. Give yourself about 54 minutes for all 72 items (roughly 45 seconds per item), then check your answers against the key and read every explanation, even for items you answered correctly. This is an independently written practice test created for this book and is not an official College Board CLEP French Language exam form.
