Edexcel French and German

Has anyone done either of these exams last thursday and friday? How did you all find them. I thought they were much harder than past practie papers I'd done, and theyd changed the format too. Does anyone know what that Lampesteh thing was in german?

Hey, I did Edexecel French listening and reading on friday. (Has 12 hours passed yet?)
I thought overall it was good, the listening was the hardest out of the two, but it wasn't the hardest I've ever done.
But the reading went well I thought, I liked the percentage question one and the party one at the end. :biggrin:

What did you think?

The German paper's were well easy. The first question on the listening was the hardest. I'm not sure which bit the topic started is aiming at, but as I spent most of my time on the first question, of the Listening. I gather it was that. OIt was no different from any past papers... The french format was changed i hear. But not the german :>.

Wish you all luck even though you found it hard...:/

thanks ! im hoping my oral and coursework will make up for it !

i fort the last 2 questions on the listening were really hard and the reading some of them were difficult as well ,, it wasnt solid like there were some reli simple questions but there was ALOT of vocab we hadnt covered,, but i guess thats what they test you on ,, picking out words you do know and guessing basically !

hope you get the grade you want !

I found the French reading and listening quite easy, english one was hard but still reckon I probably got half marks on it.

For the percentage one, did you say the "boisson froid" was the milk or the fruit juice?

as in a milky coffe ,,, i put just for the fruit juice

Yeah I was confused about the boisson froid one, but I put down the fruit juice percentage because the milk was relating to milk and coffee (cafe au lait) so it must be the fruit juice.

But I'm just gonna stop thinking about it now, can't change it :cool:

I found listening harder than reading and I missed out this listening question, because I thought it was in two parts it was about this school! Darn I bet I flopped. Good Luck though
