What board are you doing? If it is similar to mine there should be a vocab list on the specification, maybe go through that. Also if there are any french words you don't know ho to pronounce, you probably won't be able to know what they are in the listening so perhaps you can go onto the internet and find out how to pronounce complex words.

Good luck, I also have my GCSE French listening on Tuesday.

I'm on edexcel, and thank you i am going through the vocab lest but the words arent going in :frown:

I would use memrise.com and revise the vocabulary. I'm doing that for the AQA specification.

I'm having my french exam on Tuesday as well, so I take it you are doing the AQA?
I know some people who are doing IGCSE's and say that French Listening is easy, Like WTF lol.
Anyway.
I hope you're on study leave, however Dedicate the whole day just for French. This will help you get into a French mind-set.
-Download this Vocab app, It's £1.49 on the App store(Spend money to secure your GCSE's).
Helps you revise a couple key Vocabulary Terms.
-If you still have Your past-papers make see where you went wrong.
-Aim to be getting the Multiple choice questions all right.
-AQA literally dish out the answers in the Listening paper. Especially in the Positive, Negative or Positive and -Negative Questions.
-If you hear something like: c'etait beau, malheuresment.......
The word Malheuresment(Wrong spelling?)clearly highlights that what shall follow will be english.
Listen closely for ne pas and stuff as they speak fast hiding the key detail which you will know.
-Stay Calm and Avoid all eye contact with your friends (trust me).
-Do another Reading and Listening Past paper the night before (if you have ran out, go to "revisionworld" for later editions)
Good Luck.

the grade boundaries are usually stupidly low i.e. 28 out of 45 for an A* in 2012 for Aqa
