I have noticed that there a few threads for the AQA A2 French, but I can't find any for WJEC, so thought I'd start one. How is everyone finding revision for the exam?

[pbwheeler]

I don't think it's too bad, i prefer FN4 to FN2!!I like how the essay is on a definite topic and I like how the majority of marks don't fall with reading! haha! What are you doing your essay on?

Les Choristes Any idea what topic might come up in the reading? How's the revision going?

Is that a book or a film? I have no idea, it seems that the topics which usually come up are irrelevant to what we learn in class (this is the case for me, anyway) but I'd like something on immigration or nuclear energy. I've not revised much, been bogged down with too much psychology work :/ so I'm going mad right now trying to cram everything in, haha.

I agree, I only really began revision today but I don't think I'll learn specific vocab as it often doesn't seem to be relevant! Instead it seems to be more important to focus on grammar.

Glad to know I'm not the only one! No I won't be learning vocab either, just the essay and perhaps grammar. I guess it's important to practise translations too...

It's a film, I actually really like it though, which helps. I hope the reading does not have really specific vocab in it. I genuinely hate the reading :P I've been practising translations but I always find once you master one bit of grammar you start to find there's something else, so i've given up! I might just re-watch the film :s

I feel really out of the zone mind with french. After all this study leave and the language has kind of left my brain! haha!

Anyway, i'm off to cram - Bon chance!

[gottabeme]

hi, hope everyone's not too nervous! i'm gonna be doing 'le grand voyage' for my essay, so i've learned a tonne of vocab for that, and i've been mainly revising grammar for the translations. I haven't spent much time at all on the topic vocab (for the translation and reading comps) cos I'm hoping i'll be able to recognise the vocab from what i learned for the FN3 exam, and anything i don't know for the translation should be in one of the 2 texts somewhere feeling quite relaxed about this exam really, i feel really well prepared tbf! bon courage, et merde!

Hi everyone, hope the exam went well for you all. I thought it was okay! Not too bad, hopefully we've all done alright!

[roshni_shah93]

that was the hardest exam yet!! compared to all the other french papers that has to be the hardest!

[ohTS]

Omg that was so hard!!! Well the listening and a bit of the reading was really hard. A couple of tricky words in the translation too. But the essays were quite nice I thought

[pbwheeler]

I didn't think it was too bad, except for the 2nd reading

[Cassius]

Got really stuck on the year 8 vocabulary in the 2nd reading. Sat there for about ten minutes trying to work out what the words for 'airplane' and 'coach' were. Haven't revised that stuff in years!

All in all, could have gone better... Really can't tell. Just going to try and forget about it really :P

What parts did you find the hardest? I thought the listening and the reading on the expulsion of Afghans was the worst.

Went up 48 UMS marks (!) on the AS resit and did much better than expected on the A2!

A overall.
