French Edexcel 19 June 2012

Original post by Soph(:

We're doing "Candide", same it's quite difficult to write about in essays. I read above that someone predicted the question for literature might be on the style? I have no idea what I could write about for this book, :s-smilie:

its just normal lol maybe google will help. Do you know as well how many questions options we get for each essay or is it just one question?

I'm not doing regional but my guess if as long as your fairly realistic it should be ok, at the end of the day they have tones of papers to mark they don't go into that much detail.

Ah ok thanks, my teacher said that it's likely they wouldn't check, otherwise it would take them hours to mark! Just wanted another opinion because i'm taking quite a big risk :smile:

Wow I didn't realise how low the grade boundaries are! I need a B for my offer and I got 152/200 at AS level, I think I might have messed up my oral though, so I probably need about 100UMS which from the past 2 papers is between 57 and 60 out of 100! It's pretty easy to get about 30/45 on an essay if you use a decent level of French so I'm hopeful :smile:

Hmm I'm not sure, I just kept my results sheet, but you might be able to get them online if you got your results online? I'm not sure

ah ok thanks it's not a big deal. Also as the other girl hasn't replied yet and i'm impatient do you know whether there is only one question for each type e.g discursive or a few to choose one from?

Ah I guess you could say most thing were style just your opinion really :smile:

I find it really hard though! Unfortunatly for literature it's only 1 but for the discursive it's a choice of 4 for discursive

As far as I know there are 4 and you choose 1, I thought that there was only one but that makes it even better I guess because you can pick one that suits you :smile:

If l'avortement comes up I will truly believe in miracles as I did so much research for my oral exam!

Hey, sorry it took me while to reply. I am revising some sample essays we done on special event/decision, the armistice, than for person I do Petain and also the daily living conditions during occupation which were the results of armistice. i am really worried that it will be sme really odd question. Last year it was about two people I think. I dont really know what to predict. What about you?
