French listening igcse aqa: What the hell

That paper was solid.
Learning about pollution and crime and the questions end up being about vaping and selfies.

If I get a 15/40 on that paper, then I'm having a party, because I'd be buzzing if I get anywhere near a pass.

How did anyone else find it?

so the igcse paper was the same as the gcse one ?
It was definitely not what I expected and I don't think I'll be getting as high of a mark I was aspiring for. I swear I think the exam boards are just ****ing with us since we're the last year to do the "old" GCSEs. First I had a whole paper about bees for English Language and now a paper about selfies in French. Great. Just great.

If it is, should I be learning about "****" for my AQA German GCSE?

It's different I think. The GCSE one is often easier.

I don't have any idea what's going on but my teachers reckon the grade boundaries will be low af. Our entire year was predicted A* and now we're doubting the ability to get a B

For A LOT of the questions, I'd listened to therecording twice but still had no idea what to write so I was making up so much bs :redface:
Like i was lost on q2, school subjects, that whole thing on Dakhar or whatever and basically everything :/

The entire thing was a joke
Sorry guys, but for some reason my school found that the listening wasn't really that hard and that the reading was very easy. I think it was possible to even get full marks in the reading. I predict 34-35 for A* reading and 33 for listening.
Does anyone know the mark scheme?
