    Spanish GCSE OCR Monday 21st May 2012
    Does anyone know whether this is the reading or listening? My exam timetable just says unit 1, and even my teacher wasn't sure.. :/

    Sorry it's AQA actually :P

    How did everyone find the OCR listening?
    I thought it was really hard especially the last question about air conditioning I had to guess a lot!
    Anyone want to start an unofficial mark scheme?

    I put 'changing temperatures' because I heard 'cambiar temperaturas'.
    And for the government I put to help fund the projects?

    The last question killed me...

    For the first answer of the last last question, I put down temperature changes. Is that right? :L Then for the last answer I put down to finance projects because that's what I heard. Oh and for the one where it said when does he think his product is going to be sold, what did you guys put? I guessed that one, I put down a year :/ Everyone got different answers for that in my school, I mean one person put down 600 days
    Also, what did you guys put for the F1 accident, was it due to mechanical problems or driver error? I think I got that one wrong

    I put the temperature changes I didn't even hear the last one, I just put to present their ideas to others. I didn't hear when either so I put in the near future haha :L I'm pretty sure that it was a driver error because there was a collision with a car

    What did you put for when the energy consumption is highest (I can't remember the exact question but it was the second one in the last question) I put summer and winter because I heard 'verano' and 'invierno' not sure though

    Yes, temperature changes is correct. And so is the finance thing (I think).
    Apparently it was a decade but I didn't get that right.
    It was driver error because I didn't hear anything about how brakes or tyres. Not 100% sure though.

    I put exactly the same! But most people just wrote Summer in my school (maybe they didn't hear invierno? I'm not sure.)

    At least if you put summer first they can take your first answer :L I also found the question about people's problems and feelings hard, I found the feelings part especially hard I think I had 'depressing' left because I guessed 'let-down' for one

    This was the most easiest paper I have ever answered - explains the mad grade boundaries.

    Teacher told us you need 33/40 to get a C and 38/40 for an A*! LOL

    I think you've got the wrong paper - the grade boundaries are around 32 for an A*

    Hey guys,
    I did the paper too today and generally people in my school found it quite hard. My teacher is actually the chief
    examiner for OCR spanish and he said that the grade boundaries are about 32 for an a* like xsophiehannahx said. There is no
    way it would be 38, at least i dont think so!
    How did you guys do on the coursework by the way?
