    Higher French Discussion Thread
    Hey the exam is less than a week away now so how are we all feeling about It?

    I got 17 in my speaking and getting consistent 9/12 in DW and 8 in the short essay.

    I'm preparing sport, healthy eating and media for my short essa. A lot of exams so far have had a part themed around the Olympics and sport hasn't came up for a while now.

    I'm really starting to worry for some reason, I got 22 in my speaking and 78% in the prelim but I think I've gotten worse? Haha

    I'm starting to panic - I don't learn essays for my writings! I got 80% in my prelim, but only because we had a gift of a listening I'm terrified the listening will be awful this year!

    I feel prepared for Reading... and alright for both essays. Listening is where I fall. In our prelim we had a horrid listening about cycling, which no one had vocab for! For some VERY strange reason, I got 9/20 in the listening and still got 76%?! What is with that?

    Anyway... I am currently learning new vocab (mainly for reading) and phrases (for essays) and listening to French radio. The rest of this afternoon I am going to work out which reading papers I haven't done, and tomorrow I am going to focus on writing my essays and doing listening papers.

    to get 9 on that listening was good! We did it as our second prelim, and only two people in our class got 5+. I tend to be decent at listening (I got 18-19/20 on our first prelim!) and I struggled to get a 10 :/

    It was horrific wasn't it? Hopefully it means that cycling will not be in the final exam, haha.

    I really really want the RW to be about future plans/school/holidays. Mainly because that was what my speaking was on and I've lost all my other essays
