Language applicants for 2012 entry

The crap thing is that even though language exams are all too long. My history exam is two hours long and I have to do two massive essays in them, not nearly enough time :frown:

Ahh I know! I found that at AS, so I can guess It's even worse at A2!

Did you find that the research based essays were the same in the Spanish, Russian, Italian, French and German papers then? :-)

Yes, they're all very similar! Certain questions (like the event one, I think) have come up in alllll of them, and then there's others which have been in all but 1 / 2 :smile:

It wasn't too bad, the essay question was a gift (I did the author one), but I thought that some of the reading was a little odd, I had enough time to go over it again though. One more down! Are you doing French as well?

Yeah some people really didn't like the question about the endangered bird!

Yes I'll be doing French on the 19th (dreading it at the moment :/ )

I'm kind of looking forward to it. It's my last exam and I just want to get them over with. That said, I hope they don't come too soon because I really need to revise, especially because i've probably forgotten a fair bit since study leave began.
