If i got two A's and two A*s in my french coursework, how many marks would i need from the exams to get an A* overall? Im feeling annoyed as my teacher didnt mark our controlled assessments until the day before they had to be sent off so noone had the chance to resit and even on the first attempt we didnt get much guidance from our teacher!

Excuse me, but for the listening question 1 (f) if just put dirty and noisy without the 'more' would I not get the mark? Also, for question 1 (a) of the reading do I have to put 'at home'?

BTW, do you think the grade boundaries will be low?
