Cat,  I actually had the opposite results this year. I usually get scores of 1 to 3, but never higher than a 3. This year my students told me they thought they bombed the test, but they actually all passed with 3s and ove even got a 5! I was ecstatic!

Dear colleagues,
 
My AP results are lower than what I expected this year. Not a single 5 out
of 13 students, when I usually gets a majority of 5's, a lot of 4's and one
or two 3's.
Could you share your experience?
 
Thanks a lot,

Cat,
I had only seven students this year -- three 5's, no 4's, two 3's, and one 2. I was surprised that one of my students who I thought was on the 4/5 cusp earned only a 3 and that one of my students who I thought would earn a 3 earned only a 2. This was the only year I did not to a unit on la publicité and, of course, that was the topic of the partie orale/exposé.

Thuy, 
I remember seeing that wikispaces would be shutting down. See below...

Wikispaces was founded in 2005 and has since been used by educators, companies and individuals across the globe.
Unfortunately, the time has come where we have had to make the difficult business decision to end the Wikispaces service.


Why is Wikispaces closing?

Over the last twelve months we have been carrying out a complete technical review of the infrastructure and software we use to serve Wikispaces users. As part of the review, it has become apparent that the required investment to bring the infrastructure and code in line with modern standards is very substantial. We have explored all possible options for keeping Wikispaces running but have had to conclude that it is no longer viable to continue to run the service in the long term. So, it is with no small degree of nostalgia, that we will begin to close down later this year.


When is Wikispaces closing?

To enable us to offer maximum support to customers off-boarding from Wikispaces we will be undertaking a phased shutdown approach.  This will help us regulate the system load on the export tool as users depart from Wikispaces


Scheduled Closure dates:

Classroom and Free Wikis end of service31st July 2018

I always get the best results, everyone of them passed except this year. I got one 5, 4 got 4 , 2 got 3 and one got 2.; we spent the whole month talked about publicité. We compared ads from France and Usa and they talked about public services.😩

I am aware of the wiki shut down, but I hope we’ll get another site. I love that site so much. I got so much help from these amazing teachers.
Oh well!
Merci Jenny.

Mine were lower this year too. Usually I have a little bunch of 5s, but my top kids all got 4s.  Lots of 3s, where we usually have lots of 4s and 2 2s. 
I do think that the schedule -- 2nd week, the afternoon after calculus is just so impossible.  I had a few really strong kids who ended up with 3s -- they had also done the calculus, one of them BC.  I wouldn't be surprised if they had nodded off during French!....I think I might have.......

Anyway, hoping that the new schedule might help a bit.  First week, but after AP Lit.  Not sure why they can't put the language exams after morning exam that only younger kids take, instead of the typically Senior ones.  They didn't ask me, right?  :)

I too hope that we get another site!
