Here’s a short post that I made while procrastinating studying for my quantum mechanics class that is very heavy on the math :)
Do you have any helpful links for AP Euro?
Oh man, I never took AP Euro (my school doesn’t offer it), but I find that searching through the tag brings up some helpful links. It also helps you connect with other students taking the test, so if there are any specific things you need help with you could always find someone there!
Here are some that I’ve found;
Documents
Crash Course
WikiNotes
AP Aztecs
Tumblr User easyeuro
Tumblr User fuckyeaheuropeanhistory
Tumblr User eurocram
The Western Tradition
History Channel
Khan Academy
Maps!
The History Guide
AP Euro Guide
Like I said, I’ve never taken AP Euro, but I hope this helps anyways! Good luck!
Reading French: Well shit this might as well be english I can read this quickly and with 100% understanding wow
Listening to French: *blank expression staring light years past the person as my facial features slowly petrify*
To stay: Je vais rester à la maison avec toi aujourd’hui - I am going to stay home with you today
To remain for a while: Ton coup de soleil va rester quelques jours - Your sunburn will remain for a few days
What is left: Il va rester assez pour demain - We are going to have enough left for tomorrow
One still has to: Il me reste à dire au revoir - I still have to say goodbye (i.e. and then I’ll be completely done)
Nevertheless: Il reste qu’ils vont partir plus tôt que prévu - Nevertheless, they are going to leave earlier than planned
Hopefully even if you've been learning French for a while one of these resources may be of use to you

EDIT: just remembered in case you feel like torturing yourself you can do Victorian year 12 level French exams 2001 to 2020 for free on the VCE website with the audio and answers available. It would probably be more helpful to not do it within the time limit and listen to the audio as much as you need to. You might also find the HSC exam papers useful from what I can see there's three different levels of French exams (beginners, continuers, and advanced) just find them in the list of subjects and you'll get to the exams.
