i would not consider these boundaries as predictions for this year though. they were generous with the last 2 years because of covid :frown:

same here!
second language higher tier
last two years the papers were realtively diff with regards to syllabus and method of assessment. and this year my teacher said they had introduced new topics as well as made it a bit more challenging to bring the level of assessment back to pre covid. now fingers crossed for the last writing exam!
just learn as much vocab as you can as well as the connectors. hopefully it wont be that tough :frown:

all the best!

Good luck with your exams :biggrin:
