    I usually find intermediate 2 straightforward but I thought some of the questions in the reading and listening were challenging! Especially the questions in the reading that were worth 3 marks

    I thought reading 1-3 was straight forward but the question about reality tv was quite hard. The only questions i struggled with in the listening were the ones about morocco, and i'm usually quite bad at listening so i thought the paper was quite good

    Yeah! The reality tv was the hardest part of the reading! There were a few questions in the listening that I just couldn't get like why does the chef like his job:/ but hopefully I have done alright!

    Aww! I'm sure you will get an A! For the past three years you only had to get 69% for an A

    Thats what i do with most of the answers, it all goes too fast for me I used to be in int 1 french, then got moved up at 4th year and ended up with one of the highest mark in my prelim despite getting 4/20 in the listening. It's the listening that brings me down so much because i've had so little practice, I think I had done 3 int 2 listenings before going into the exam

    We did int 1 in 3rd year and then on to int 2 in 4th year! I didn't really think there was much of a difference apart from a longer speaking. That's what I like about doing int 2 because everything is out of 100 you don't need to worry about each individual part! I did last years for practise and it was quite hard! Listening is my worst are you doing higher French?

    It was one of my options, but i choose higher geography instead but i'm not sure because the geography exam was really hard, so i might need to repick
