Hi
I am doing it tomarrow!


How was it!
Wondered if you know how many mark we can loose to still get an A!
It didn't go as good as I thought it would be, but I think I am going to get a B at least. and for last year it was 116 marks for an A. I think one of the listening questions were wrong.

Wondered what prep you are gonna do for A2 one..
listening took me a long long time cuz was worded weirdly in some cases!
remind me again 116 out of 160 right?
well that's piss! it s like 72.5% !!!!:eek:
116/160 for an A is piss indeed!
You should see the A grade boundaries for Turkish or Dutch! :redface:
Are you from Iran originally?

Ya but you do get 15 minutes extra! The translations will be the other way round for A2, maybe practise doing some Persian to English translations!

Omg, your name mayun! i'm gonna have some serious fresh out of the flemmish farm competition tomorrow! :lol:
The grade boundary tends to go up every year :frown: 135/160 should be just about safe I reckon!

Hey guys! I am doing my Dutch AS too tomorrow! Dutch is my first language, but i've lived in England for the last few years so am slowly forgetting it..... :/ slightly worried as I haven't had time to revise! Sadly i think the grade boundary will be very high as there's mainly dutch nationals sitting it i reckon (although i'm the only one at my school!). Good luck everyone!!!
So...does anyone esle think they might have gone way over the word limit on the final question? :lol:

I am not flemmish hahaha.. I am from Holland :biggrin:
and I can't understand how someone, who doesn't has dutch as his first/second language can do this exam?? I bet some people from Holland can't even answer some questions that came up on the exam.. what did you think about it?

Now that didn't cross my mind when I wrote that! :wink: and IKR! the Dutch papers are so much more demanding than the likes of Spanish & French, etc! I think they design the paper to suit the level of Dutch expats, not learners! :lol: I found it ok, though i'm bricking it 4 the A2 exam next week!!:eek:

Hey! I want to do the exam next year in January so I've got summer to prepare for it. Do you know where I can find a OCR book to revise from? And how did you revise for it and how did it go (like what were the Questions like...etc)
Do you think it's worth doing. I'm sorry I'm asking loads of Questions at once :tongue:
