WJEC GCSE french Reading and listening May 14 2012Hello all!
I was wondering what did everyone think of the WJEC GCSE French exams today?
Did anyone find the reading extremely hard? The fill in the blanks was atrocious!
I think I failed it! I marked my teachers answers against my own and got 25/40
Also what did everyone think of the listening? I thought it was okay except for in some instances where it was about someone called Damien and wind surfing!
Hopefully the grade boundaries will be low! -

Re: WJEC GCSE french Reading and listening May 14 2012I agree about the reading, it was so hard. I found the last question about the baby falling out of the building incredibly hard. Listening was OK but our tape was awful as it kept crackling. Hoping I did enough to get an A overall. Hope everyone else did well!

Re: WJEC GCSE french Reading and listening May 14 2012Yeah we can(Original post by Vince xD)
Listening was hard, reading was relatively easy as long as you knew the vocab.
Not sure if you can discuss this yet? Only Edexcel/IB/CIE exam boards are globally taken. It's allowed

Re: WJEC GCSE french Reading and listening May 14 2012I found the reading moderately okay. The last question was a bit of a nightmare but they can't be all easy
The listening was some what harder i found, the practice listening i did (old past papers) sounded much clearer and easier. Again, few questions there were hit and miss, however it only took around 30 minutes out of a supposed 45???
Overall, definitely the hardest papers i have done in comparison to the past papers we did in class. -

Well at least we all have that 60% coursework to rely on

Re: WJEC GCSE french Reading and listening May 14 2012I must admit that fill in the gaps question was insane. The baby question was ridiculous i mean seriously what are the chances of that even happening? What did people put for what the local residents thought was a cause or something like that?

Re: WJEC GCSE french Reading and listening May 14 2012The baby question! Argh, you couldn't even guess. I put that the parents had left the child alone, no idea of it was right though.
And what was David scared of? My mind went blank, I put spiders
Much harder than all the past papers I had done though, I hope they lower the grade boundaries -

Re: WJEC GCSE french Reading and listening May 14 2012I put unemployment too! But, like you say, being scared of it is a little silly. It's like the question about Jamal and why he likes holidays by the sea. I put because he lives in the countryside as that's all I could see! Confused me so much! And that windsurfing one was tough. I heard the word glass so put something along the lines of it being adapted to ice?!(Original post by Siriuslyscrewed)
I put unemployment cause it was the only word I heard,not sure how you can be scared of unenployment mind... That last question on the listening about the winter windsurfing what did people put?
What did people put for the last Vanessa Pardis question?

Re: WJEC GCSE french Reading and listening May 14 2012I thought listening was harder than reading. Couldn't do question 2 on listening completely guessed!! though my guess for one was okay haha!
I also put her dream was to marry Johnny! again a guess, but hoping I'm right now.
I think knowing the vocab really made it easier.
For the baby one I put about being left alone without paretns!!
I did the exam last year which I found harder at the time, though in class doing it again was really easy. Got an A and a B last year, A overall, so hoping to get an A*. Though I'm fine with my A! -
