GCSE speaking presentations - how long?

In german, I am using one of my old courseworks for my speaking presentation. However, I don't know how long it is supposed to be. Some places say 3 minutes, whilst others say a max of 90 seconds.

It is for the AQA German GCSE and I am doing to higher tier aiming for A/A* if that helps.

So does anyone what sort I time I should be talking for?
Check with your teacher to make sure, but when I did AQA GCSE Spanish Higher Tier last year, I'm pretty sure I only spoke for 90 seconds.

We got told if it is more than 90 seconds the examiner would stop listening to the tape so i wouldnt go over 2 mins personally!

I'm on OCR for both French and German, and in the end of year exams last year/the mocks this year we did one minute. It's quite hard to fit everything in, but I suppose it's also slightly easier to remember.

I thought it was 90 sec speaking, 90 sec 'discussion' with teacher about what you've said but don't quote me on it!

Yeah, that sounds familiar actually. Sorry, I technically just quoted you :p:

With AQA, you should aim to speak for one and a half minutes in the foreign language for your presentation, though you won't be penalised if you go slightly over (i.e, 2-3 seconds) or if you don't reach the one minute thirty mark:smile:
