Edexcel German GCSE ListeningHi guys,
I have my German GCSE Reading and Listening exams next month. I would like to do as many past listening papers so I can improve my listening since I have been the weakest in that. Also if you could give me any german reading edexcel papers I would be grateful for that too!
Any tips or advice? -

Re: Edexcel German GCSE ListeningHi I've got this exam too and I'm quite nervous because I need to get a good grade in this since I want to do to A level german.
Check the vocab list on the edexcel website- it gives you all of the phrases they could possibly ask you
Good Luck

Re: Edexcel German GCSE Listeningdo a listening paper, mark it, then go through the transcript and write and and look up any words you didn't understand and get someone to test you until you know them. do this with as many past papers as you can find.(Original post by Frankster)

Edexcel GCSE German Listening 18th JuneSurprised there was no thread on this exam.
How's everyone feeling about tomorrow's exam. Prepared? I've done a few listening papers on AQA and Edexcel, but not at all much. So unprepared but i think ill be ready.
Good luck to all. After all, how hard can it be... -

My German teacher sent us all ONE reading paper from WJEC but all my other reading and listening has been AQA. apparently WJEC is the better board to do it on, I must say the papers look a lot better.. Fingers crossed

Re: Edexcel GCSE German Listening 18th JuneWaahh I have done barely any revision and I really want an A* overall !! I'm so glad that it's in the afternoon so that I can do a bit of revision and some practise papers tomorrow, I guess I'll just have to hope for the best.
Good luck to everyone who's taking it

I've got geography in the morning, so I've been trying frantically to revise for both. German is all about just linking words and being able to recognise it. The reading is so much better than the listening, you have to first listen to the accent then work out what the hell they are saying, with the reading it's just there.

Re: Edexcel GCSE German Listening 18th JuneI completely agree. I'm taking the reading paper more seriously than the listening!(Original post by _Shmiley)

Re: Edexcel GCSE German Listening 18th JuneI am doing the Edexcel GCSE German listening paper tomorrow. Well technically it is today as now it is the early hours of the morning. I am rather nervous, but not scared. It will probably be my worst part of the German GCSE. I am hoping for an A overall. For the 4 coursework pieces already done (Writing/Speaking) I scored A, A*, A, A.

Re: Edexcel GCSE German Listening 18th JuneUrrgh, I have Stats tomorrow (at school until 4:30), as well as Geography in the morning, so it's three for me
Just to dispel any fears over A Level requirements; my German teacher admitted to me that in her GCSE German, she got a B. That's still a pretty high grade, but it means we don't have to get an A* or even an A to have a chance at a job largely involving German Also, even if tomorrow (...today?) goes spectacularly badly, there's always the other parts of the qualification to bump up the grade.
Good luck everyone!!!

Re: Edexcel GCSE German Listening 18th JuneI thought it was alright until about question 7 (windsurfing, I believe)(Original post by becky96)
It was horrible or is that just me?
