My teacher has the Jan 2012 paper and its mark scheme, I'll request it. I'm studying French, Economics, English Literature and Biology. Best of luck with your application!

Language bro I've spent the whole of today organising all my German paperwork Our language speaking assistant (we talk once a week for an hour) wrote down bullet points for the whole course in order by sub-topic, so I've been filing that with vocab lists Felt so happy when I finished, then I realised that I'd been assuming that by putting it all in a folder I'd have magically learnt it all :|

Oops I meant bro in a non-male way anyway more like a pal, a comrade, a fellow linguist.

Ja, definitely doing A2, as I will be taking enough A-levels so that I don't even need to pass it to meet an offer of A*AA I hope to study it as part of a uni course, or to study abroad in my third year in Austria/Germany/Switzerland. Yeah just spend a day or two organising your folder I just scrunched up any random worksheets after noting down vocab from them, and threw them over my shoulder; I had a huge carpet of paper balls at the end! Now I'm so proud of my folder though. Do you have speaking sessions? how are you preparing for your exam.

French native eh? *dusts off the old mega-formal french* Je suis enchanté de faire votre cônnaisance, madamoiselle I took french last year, beautiful A*s dans français et l'allemand, mais malhereusement je pensais qu'il ne serait pas une décision intelligente à choisir deux langues en sixth form (my german is much better )

This is totally irrelevant to the thread title

Haha I know! C'est un plaisir de vous rencontrer, je suis impressionnée par votre connaissances des langues-vous êtes incroyable avec vos bon notes! :P I have one speaking lesson per week with a french assistant which lasts an hour. I'm currently doing past papers and learning french essays off by heart ,und sie?

I hope to combine french with a course at Uni too, hopefully have a year abroad but it depends on what course I do as I havent decided yet .I am hoping to invest in files next week to organise my horrendous french folder lol (be more like you!). If you dont mind me asking, are you pursuing a course at oxbridge by anychance?

I'm going for Philosophy at Cambridge, but if I don't get that, then I'll go for PPE at Warwick and Durham, or Philosophy and Economics at LSE/UCL. At all the universities I can take optional language courses, and especially at Warwick and Durham it's easy to take a third year out and study at one of about 40 german-speaking universities

I've taken a different route for revision (I haven't really started though, I'm just preparing to ). So far during the year, I've been taking all the worksheets, exam papers etc. we do, finding vocab I think is useful, and adding it to a huge list using dict.cc - the single best English-German dictionary in the world XD It's good for french too (just not as amazing as it is for German) and you can find translations and add them to a vocab list at the click of a button. The problem was I was too lazy to sort the vocab into categories, so I've just got pages of misc. vocab My language assistant went through the entire course, sub-topic by sub-topic, and wrote down bullet point phrases and bits of vocab for each part. I've filed those according to topic, and then I've been learning/highlighting those. I also found a great resource for german from GCSE (this http://store.aqa.org.uk/qual/pdf/AQA3651WSG.PDF is the french equivalent) which is sorted by topic, and I'm going to try to learn loads of those words, and then sort my random list from dict.cc But then if you're native you know everything anyway So unfair how you get to take a native language as an A-level! Also, we're *supposed* to be reading articles, watching news etc. and noting down vocab or translating them, which is helping us improved. I tried using yahoo answers in german (you could use http://fr.answers.yahoo.com/) which is awesome as you can choose to answer/ask questions in specific categories, and you see what the real language is like.

So now, I've just got sections in a ringbinder corresponding to each topic. e.g. Cinema - I've got the assistant's notes, relevant pages from the student vocab guide, sets of additional stimulus questions from the assistant, and then I'll have my sorted vocab later. I'm so proud When you say you'll invest in fileS (plural), just get one hench divided ring-binder so that everything's in one place.

does anyone think it would be worth resitting f581 if i got 43 out of 60 and you need 46 for an A

I know virtually everyone who just missed an A is resitting in my class, the idea being f581 should be easier after doing f582. However, you'll have to be careful not to mix up the two, and that you revise everything fully again. I'd say go for it, as you learnt the content in a couple of months, already (should) have notes, so it shouldn't be too much work.

so are they resitting it this june or next jan. As my teacher said i could resit it in January as i do not want to get a worse mark in f582 because of revising for f581 again. I don't Know

If you're going to resit it should probably be in june (well, may) so that the grade counts towards the AS which unis see. That's just my view though, talk to your teacher again
