    Yes my teacher has also used up all the past papers in class so I would appreciate a link from anyone aswell please.
    Had French this week on AQA and it was quite hard! Very dissimilar to any past paper, hope Spanish will be easier.

    Unfortunately, there are only three past papers in the link below. However, I still think they are useful. I just hope they are easier than the French exam last week.

    I thought it was sustained at a very high level. Like most of the questions seemed to be aimed at A/A* candidates so anyone at a C or B grade may have struggled. I found it quite hard but think I did okay. Does anyone know why the girl designed a uniform?

    There were some questions that were reaaallly hard and at times, it was like are you even speaking in Spanish? But, there were some questions that were quite easy. Everyone I know found it hard, so hopefully: low grade boundaries! I swear you didnt need to put why she designed a uniform?

    I think it was for the army. I didn't get it though, my teacher told me afterward. I guessed and said it was sports clothes; the test was really hard!

    You're telling me; one of my friends wrote down for the marias negras one, that it meant black immigrants. I wrote flood, because I had no idea what it meant. Apparently it was oil spill? On an island? I found the entire news section impossible

    I have no idea, I can't remember it, but I guessed on 90% of that test, and I'm predicted an A*. THAT'S NOT HAPPENING XD Our examiner was a pain in the arse though; we had to wait for half an hour because the tape stopped half way through question 1. -_- Meanwhile I was sitting there like a stressed time bomb... :L
