Cambridge IGCSE English Language (May 3rd 2016) official thread

I think it's a risky thing to say what you'll need to get an A* or an A or whatever.

When I did it in November, I was predicted a sure fire A*- I had full marks in both Speaking and Listening and coursework.

And yet I came out with a B.

To be fair, everyone that didn't get A* in our school had to do a resit. That was 335 students.

I thought the husband remained in hospital until the day they would both leave evidently meaning that the wife would spend the rest of the days by herself? Because it stated that she needs to stop on Friday to pick him up from the hospital before the airport. Either that or I've just screwed this whole exam!

You need 34/50

47+25=72
106-72 = 34

Am I the only one who didn't do any coursework for English Lang? We did the 25% Speaking but none of this coursework everyone is talking about. We did coursework for English Lit though.

Wait so I take 5 off my speaking?

There are two roots for 0522, paper 3 and coursework count for the same thing (40%) like the exam (40%) and the speaking (20%). Some schools do coursework and some do paper 3. They assess the same things.

That's how i interpreted it,

That's how i interpreted it. I thought they were picking him up on the way to the airport.

This is what I wrote too i still think it was utter ******** tho

That's how I interpreted it as well because that's what she said, wasn't it? If it wasn't I might be screwed for real haha

I wrote it as if she would be alone for the rest of the holiday and the things she would do without him like visit the sanctuary and learn about bees, relax etc.

Yep, I said that she would talk to the gardener about the bees and write in the journal to relax till Friday when she'll go to pick up her husband on the way to the airport.

Exactly mine. I have a love hate relationship with bullet point 3 sometimes!

Man i talked about how what they did would determine what to do for the rest of the trip according to the husbands injury

For example, I said we would take more excursions if the husband was fit enough

SH*It

Do u think i will be awarded some marks?
