SPANISH OCR 15th May

anyone else find it really hard??

Yep, I almost cried.

Everyone in my year found it hard and I worked so hard. All of it has gone to waste, and they probably won't lower the grade boundaries...

Well thank god for that, everybody in my year also found it hard too and well the grade boundries were quite low last year at only 24 for an A..

Few, the more and more people I hear who found it hard - the happier I feel. I guessed at least 50% of the answers on the listening and 25% on the reading...

Personally, I found the reading a lot more harder even though I'm usually better at it....

Ah

The annoying thing is if they do change the grade boundaries, they will be so low - people's grades won't reflect their ability for Spanish but their ability for guessing...

It's true but they wouldn't look good for the whole country to receive low results everywhere.

True

OCR sucks massive donkey balls...

I'd be getting A's and B's in past papers, this years was just so much more challenging in comparison...

I did the foundation paper. The 2014 mock was alright, I got a high C grade with approximately 90% of the paper correct. This year even the first question was challenging, the last question was much more difficult that 2014. However, the grade boundries
will hopefully be lower.

I loved the first question on the higher listening, and also i liked two of the questions on the higher reading, but a lot of it was just guessing, hoping for an A overall due to my coursework
