No Problem, Lucy-'tengo hambre' was restaurant
Ana- 'Quiero comprar sellos para enviar esta carta' was post office
Pedro- 'tengo que comprar un billete de ida y vuelta' was station
Nano- 'tengo entradas para el partido de hoy' was stadium

[boumavilla]

YESSS!! Thanks so much for putting this up!
I think I got 36-38!! Sooo happyyyy!

do the papers get marked electronically? because i changed my mind on some answers and ended up crossing out loads of boxes :L i'm worried that the computer would not be able to detect my correct answer otherwise i think it went okay

They can detect which one was the one you picked and they ignore the crossed out ones.
Problem I have with it is what do you do in the exam if you pick an answer, then you cross it out...but then you want to pick it again?!!
I've luckily never had that situation...

i know...that happened to my friend, so she put a massive arrow next to box, saying 'THIS IS MY ANSWER'. hopefully it'll work for her!
The reading was surprisingly much easier than the listening. i failed the listening.

[Trepton]

what do you think the grade boundaries would be for this paper?

LOL I hope it works out for her!

Yeah, apparently everybody in the country failed the listening! So don't worry! I did really well in the reading paper, but I only felt confident in like 1/4 of the answers because I knew them, the rest were pure guesses!

Probably 32-34ish for A* for the reading?
Maybe 28ish for A, 24ish for B?

[Wintabix]

Hey just wondering, does 'pension' mean 'bed and breakfast' or 'board'??? Cos most people in my yet put bed and breakfast as their first answer whereas I put full board, which one is the right answer?

Board, because it said pension completa, so it would mean full board.

lol surprisingly i got full marks on the shakira question and that was the hardest question. Doesn't pensión mean bed and breakfast?

[VineshS]

I think it is bed and breakfast because the word: ''completa'' would cause students to tick full board straight away without having red pensión (bed and breakfast). It's one of edexcel's infamous trick questions as said by my spanish teacher right after the exam.

[Jack_Smith96]

May 2011 grade boundaries were 36=A* and 32=A do you think the grade boundaries are likely to be lower because I thought the test was harder?

For Question 4e would it be acceptable to put "It was recorded with Dizzie Rascal"

I would think so, as long as you made it clear that you're talking about the question then it would be fine

Thank you so much for this! Would it be possible for you to post the questions and options for number 7 and 8? I would be sooo grateful!

[Hannah.W.]

Yeah, that would be soo helpful as i can't remember what the answers i put actually said for question 8! :P Also do you think it would be acceptable to say she sang Loca with Dizzie Rascal instead of recorded??
