how did everyone think it went? i thought it was awful!
the writing questions choices weren't bad but who knows if my answer was any good!
As for the reading and listenings....

Yeh, great essay titles but some of the listening I understood what they said but thought the questions were a bit ambiguous like the falsa, verdad and no menciona questions. What did people put for those?

I thought the reading, listening and grammar questions were really hard! The essays were better than i thought, i did the technology one- what did everyone else do?

Personally, I didn't like any of the essay titles...chose sport one in the end.

I thought the listening was alright, it took our school half an hour to make it work properly though, the reading was okay but the grammar bit was horrible. The first one "Mi madre insistió en .................... el volumen (bajar)" I had no idea for. I did the technology question in the end, that was alright, I got a lot of subjunctive in.

I just put 'bajar' in the end... 'My mother insisted in lowering the volume' makes sense I guess as it's certainly not the gerund...

I put the gerund first but I knew that wasn't right. I think I put bajó in the end, but I'm thinking that maybe it was bajé. I hate the preterite :|

I didn't realise that it said write on every line and so due to habit wrote on every other line...
What's gonna happen?

Apparently it was "bajar"

Phew, ah well at least I know that I have one mark xD there were two others, dirigir and capaz. Did you put dirigida and capaces as your answers?

Yep, I put dirigida and capaces too.
Capaces because 'z' changes to 'c' in the plural. Dirigida because it's the passive.

Did people put "ordernadores grises"?

Yeah I put that but i'm disappointed to find out that bajando was wrong. what was the one with llamar at the end?? I put llame but have no idea why.

I think I may have completely messed up on the grammar. :frown:

I put that too!
I thought the cloze test was surprisingly okay. But the essays and the V/F/N questions were a nightmare.
I was the only person in my class to do the technology question... Please tell me I'm not completely alone!?
