I agree with all the stuff about the recordings; I had a hard time hearing the muffled voices. They used an older man to speak, which doesn't help! I just made sure I was ready, and listening carefully before I clicked the play button, and I don't think I got any wrong on those.
I would have to disagree with OE800_85, because there were sections (this includes the listening) where you were given 5 possible ways to answer a question, and had to choose which was grammatically correct and/or relevant. I don't think my score would have been 68, if I hadn't worked on grammar/vocabulary.
A child's book is a fine way to become familiar with french in general, but you'll need to be able to understand higher levels of vocabulary, such as french radio or movies.
I would point out that there is a reading portion, where you go through an excerpt from a french author/reporter etc., so remember to read dif. types of literature. ( I read The Hound of the Baskerilles, and it was way more intriguing than if I had read it in English! )
Bonne Chance!
