Yah I agree, some suggested that the grade boundary would be 80-83 and that sounds amazing but it has never been that low I think? :frown:

I wrote about communication, you must sit together at meal times, you must make rules you all agree on and share the house work?

Wasn't question 4 about a restaurant?
Does anyone have a rough idea of how many marks each question from reading and grammar section were out of? I feel like they changed up the goal marks per question but maybe I am wrong

yeahhhh that's what i got
I completely messed that exam up. I had a death of a close family member on the weekend and I was thrown off my exam. I couldn't concentrate, and my examiners took me to the exam 2 minutes late(I was a private candidate), which meant I was supposed to have extra time but I didn't as they collected the papers in. I missed out so many questions, didn't get chance to fully read over my essay, and I wrote the english q's in french. My examiners applying for special consideration but I can't help thinking that I shouldn't have done the exam, she said they'd estimate grades. But I thought what if they estimate me lower. Now after I found that exam really difficult and ended up guessing some of the answers, I don't know what to expect. Just wish I had my extra time and read the bloody question :frown:

Sorry, you'll get the grade you deserve, even if they have to estimate it. What grade were you expecting?
Best thing now is just concentrate on the A2 paper on Monday. For the essay, answer the question as it is and do not depart from it by rewriting one of your old essays unless it is directly answering the question.
What did people get for the matching question on film critiques, think it was question 8?

That was was an absolute nightmare to say the least...I don't remember exactly what I put but if you remember like the starting part I think I might be able to recall

I remember putting "difficile de faire...", "it was the (something) film of les printemps", something about stuntmen doing something but it wasn't that good/effective (cant remember much of the french)

I didn't understand much of the vocab so I tried to sort them out grammatically, it was such a tricky question

Thank you, well I need an A for University but that's highly unlikely so I was hoping for a high C/B at least from the written papers.
Yes I will be doing that soon, the funeral is tomorrow so hopefully i'll be able to focus on A2 afterwards.
Thanks for all your help again, I really appreciate it
Does anyone else have an unofficial mark scheme for the paper?
