Hey yeah, I'm doing Edexcel French AEA and CEA German AEA too, German looks so much easier than French funnily enough! Not particularly looking forward to either tbh...!!

I did the German one in 2004 and got distinction. I thought it was easier than the A-level!
I think they're always worth doing as you dont really lose anything- i did the english one as well and got an ungraded, but nobody has to know so it doesnt really matter- it was simply a waste of three hours in which i sat the exam as i did little preparation beyond what i was already doing for my a-levels.

I'm doing the AEA in German. The only preparation I've done for it is look through 3 past papers and brush up on my grammar. I don't really see how you can revise for it! :redface:

Advanced Extension Award - "First examined in June 2002, the advanced extention award (AEA) was introduced for 18-year-olds as part of the government's response to its report Excellence in cities. AEA's supersede Special Papers.

The AEA should:

* challenge the top 10 percent of students nationally in each subject
* ensure that the most able students are tested against standards comparable with the most demanding to be found in other countries
* be accessible to all able students, whatever the specification they are studying
* help differentiate between the most able candidates, particularly in subjects with a high proportion of A grades at advanced GCE." (QCA)

The 2002 paper was on Reisen, 2004 Lesen, 2005 Freundschaft. Quite nice topics I think :smile:

Very nice topics - but I thought they were suppose to be on issues studied or something, like Crime and Punishment?

Btw, how come your RS is on 25th?
