Spanish AS AQA 24th May (mark scheme discussion?)

Just wanted to make a post so people can discuss their answers/thoughts on the exams.
I wrote el agua frío instead of el agua fría after doubting myself, so just kicking myself at all the little mistakes.

Yeah it was the little mistakes I think, I didn't like the camping section or the one with los anuncios como 'seguro de coche'

I thought the listening section on the radio adverts was ok... i didnt like the camping holiday or the relationship between Hugo and David. I hate the V,F,N style questions.. sometimes i find they are ambiguous.

Yeah I kept changing one of my V's to an N and then changing it back :frown: Surprisingly I thought question 9 wasn't disastrous but the essays were quite difficult. How much did people write?

I thought the essays were quite open/nice.. I picked the longer life one and but only wrote just about 4 pages. I see some people on the exemplar page of AQA writing like 2x my amount, so yeah :frown:
I know I've made some silly mistakes but I did think the listening section was quite hard

I didn't like the first two essay questions so I went with the one about positive and negative influences of famous people and wrote 5 pages, my teacher told me to include lots of subjunctive in the essay and si clauses with imperfect subjunctive so hopefully I'll be fine for the structure part out of 5. but i'm more worried about the content points since that's out of 20

What did anyone put the if clause for first question on the grammar gap fill? I put "tuviera" but think I may have misread and conjugated it in the wrong form 😞

It was tuvieran because it was about 'mis padres'

Oh right...well I'm hoping I put it in the plural then and haven't realised😂. Thank you though literally couldn't think what the rest of the sentence was

'only' 4 pages?? how much would you usually write?

How many points did you guys make on the essay? (I did Question 10 - Living longer lives)
I did 18 points for Question 11 (the single life one), I normally can do 10 for and 10 against but I ran out of time and had to do the conclusion.
