AQA GCSE French 17th May 2016

For the disadvantage, I mentioned that it makes more young people get into smoking (who weren't already). What did you get for the orange badge? I blanked out a bit there.

I was lost at that point too and i wrote something about special privelleges

I don't do French but my AQA Spanish exam is on Friday so you're making me freak out! Really hoping the Spanish is easier I'm sure the grade boundaries will be really low so don't stress about it now; the hard part is over

I'm doing French and Spanish. The only real different questions were on the listening, where one question had 6 options and you had to choose the correct advantage and disadvantage of being a pilot. Also, there was another new question where the start of the sentence was written on the sheet and the voice said the whole sentence and you had to complete it. It was quite tricky as you had to understand every word to get it right. Otherwise, the paper is what we are normally used to. Don't panic, the reading was one of the easiest papers I have ever done!

The listening will be about 26/40 for A* and the reading will be about 32/45 for A* Look at the grade boundaries on previous French papers which were really easy and had 36/45 for A* in the reading. In the reading and listening today, there were a lot of gaps to fill and few multiple choice questions so if you don't know much French, you are screwed. The grade D boundary will be incredibly low in both papers. What do you think?

I generally feel bad about this exam... does anyone know the ums required for an A in french? My coursework is 322/360 and so A* in both speaking and As in both writing so what would I need in the exams? ANY help would be cool

That's great! Thanks so much, it makes me feel a lot better! I have a spanish thread for Friday if you want to check it out? http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=4090689&p=64870925#post64870925
