WeSolve+ reads the whole document and writes the questions for you
Upload your PDF, photograph your notebook, or point the camera. WeSolve+ writes questions from that material, explains why each answer is right, reads the chapter back to you as a podcast, and remembers every item you missed until you own it.
The tool below is a small browser-only tool and it is not WeSolve+: paste a few lines and text rules turn them into cards on the spot. The real app, the one that uses AI, is behind the link above.
Unit 1 family terms, from your own notes
This is a browser-only tool, and that is all it isIt splits the text you paste by rule, and nothing else. WeSolve+ is a different thing entirely: it reads your whole PDF with AI, writes the reasoning behind every question, speaks the chapter back to you, and remembers what you missed so it can return it.

This is a text splitter rather than a tutor. It turns pasted lines into cards by rule, and a gap in the paste is a gap in the deck.
Household vocabulary is what lifts an answer
La famille recomposee, le foyer, les aines, le quartier: the theme runs on nouns that name a structure rather than describe a feeling. An answer that says families are important scores below one that names a blended family arrangement and what it changes about a weekday. Build the vocabulary list around structures and roles, because those are the words the prompts are built from too.
Family material now feeds the project, not a comparison
The task that used to ask you to compare a francophone family practice with your own is gone. From the 2026-27 revision onward the spoken half of the exam is a Course Project: a topic packet released in January, researched over months, presented in three minutes and then defended through four recorded questions. Unit 1 stops being a comparison prompt and becomes a supply of material, so household structures in Senegal or Quebec earn their place by being usable inside a project answer rather than by fitting a rubric line.
One outline you write, and a deadline before exam day
There is no formal email left to hold vous through. What replaces it is a Personalized Project Reference, an outline of your presentation submitted through the AP Digital Portfolio by 30 April, which you receive back in print on exam day. That single sheet is the only note you are allowed, so family vocabulary that survives into it survives into the exam. Register still matters, but it is now the register of a prepared academic presentation rather than of a letter to a stranger.
Legal and social structures give the theme substance
Prompts reach for arrangements that differ by country because they let a candidate show knowledge instead of sentiment: the PACS as a civil partnership, parental leave policy, the place of grandparents in a household. Naming a structure and saying what it changes about daily life turns a description into the argument the top band asks for.
The essay still needs all three sources
Even on a familiar theme the argumentative essay is a citation exercise. An article, an audio report and a graph arrive together and all three must enter the argument by name: selon la source un, d'apres le graphique, l'enregistrement indique. Two sources argued elegantly score below three sources argued plainly, because the rubric counts presence before it weighs style.
What to photograph for Les familles et les communautes
Your vocabulary tables and community notes, with one named francophone community such as Senegal rather than a continent. Continue with Unit 2, or read how photo to quiz handles a page. Limits sit on pricing.

What does AP French Unit 1 cover?
Les familles et les communautes: family structures, generations, housing and belonging across the francophone world.
Is the cultural comparison still on the AP French exam?
No. From the May 2027 exam the comparison and the simulated conversation are replaced by a Course Project presentation worth 20 percent and a Project Q&A worth 15 percent.
What happened to the formal email task?
It was removed for French. The written free response is now a single argumentative essay of 55 minutes built on print and audio sources that disagree with each other.
Why do legal arrangements appear in a family theme?
Because they differ by country and let you show knowledge rather than sentiment. The PACS or parental leave policy gives an answer something concrete to argue from.
Do I still need all three sources on an easy theme?
Yes. The essay counts whether each source enters the argument by name, regardless of how familiar the topic feels.
Is there an AP French Unit 1 practice test on this page?
There is no stored set. Drop your family and community vocabulary into the box above and it comes back as question and card pairs built only from those lines.
