roleplay? - what exam board you doing, i didn't have to do a roleplay for AS, it was a discussion based on a picture (usually a cartoon)

advice - make sure you know your presentation and associated issues really well, the examiners can pick up some really random things in your presentation to ask you about - so make sure youve gone through it and have considered anything that is left without further explanation and detail

and good luck, i was really nervous before, but as soon as i'd started i actually quite enjoyed having this conversation with a random examiner woman about the topic i'd chosen

I thought that the examiner was going to be your teacher. :s-smilie: Is it likely that a visiting examiner-moderator will assess you? *PANIC*

well for AQA it was an external examiner - but they are very friendly and come out and meet you all before the session starts, tell you a little bit about themselves so on and say a little bit in French so you can get used to their accent rather than meeting this stranger under exam conditions

:s-smilie: :s-smilie: :s-smilie: Oh dear, our teacher told us that it will definitely be her... but we changed to AQA from OCR this year so she probably don't know about that. :s-smilie: :s-smilie: I'm terrified......!!

Hmm, checked the specification and it said that it could either be conducted & recorded by a teacher, then marked by an AQA examiner; or it can be conducted, recorded and marked by an AQA examiner. I'm not sure whether centres can choose to have teacher-examiners or not... :s-smilie:

I'm not sure what the case is for GCSE, but as far as I know, every other person I've met did their oral with their teacher...!

(definite overload of the :s-smilie: smiley in this thread :p: )

No for GCSE pretty much everyone does it with their normal teacher

Revising?! I guess I really should do it pretty soon huh? We already had a mock though and I only really learnt the presentation and got 66/70 but I don't want to rest on my laurels.

By the way, we have an external examiner and i'm on AQA. Don't know about other boards
