was the C a high C or a low C? I think that if you do really well in the listening and reading you should be able to do it....

Realistically, it depends on if the C is a high C or a low C. If the C is relatively high, i see no reason as to why you couldn't achieve an A, however if the C is low/average, you may struggle to reach an A. However, i felt the French exams this year were quite tough, as did many others, so it is possible grade boundaries are lowered and you could be in luck!

ok say if the C was a low C. would i need to get an A* to get an A overall?
