    I am! I've mainly been revising by memorising vocabulary from the specification.

    Oh that's cool! And apart from very infrequently learning a few words from my vocabulary book, nothing substantial as of yet. I don't even think I will, the exam isn't particularly panicking me

    Oh no, I love it! I'm taking it next year! I feel confident I will get an okay mark to be honest. I will do some practice papers, mainly for listening as I find that harder.

    Yeah, I'm much weaker in listening. I think it's because I can only hear it twice, whereas with reading I can re-read everything as much as I want.

    It's going fine, but I should have started learning vocabulary earlier It's reassuring to know that it's not easy even for a fluent speaker!
