All I'm worried about is the document I'll get... I've practiced the conversation loads (I'm talking about strikes in France) so I'm pretty confident on that.

Haha :p: I'm talking about the strikes of this year and the student strikes in 2006.

I know... I'm okay on the comprehension questions, but if the subject of the document is crap then my answers to the opinion questions can just be awful at times, I ramble on and on about nothing. Sometimes I can't even think of anything to say in ENGLISH. Argh.

I'm talking about multiculturalism in France and whether it functions in society. I'm feeling okay about the conversation part (hopefully!!) but panicking about the stupid sheet at the beginning! I have to get a reallly high A to get an overall A, to get to university. not a fan of the pressure at all! I see your doing German as well, hope that oral went/goes well as well! What time is yours tomorrow? xxx

I'd imagine confidence boosts are fine, but because oral exams are at different times for everyone you can't like discuss role play cards (which you asked about in your OP) since that would be seen as cheating etc.

good luck though, I'm sure you'll be fine. I have my a2 german ocr oral tomorrow and french aqa on monday, so I feel your pain!

I usually write out an answer to 'ce texte, il s'agit de quoi?' and just read it off the paper but beyond that, no. I haaaateeee this part of the exam. :frown:

My teacher has advised us to just talk for as long as we can if we get a question we're very comfortable with answering, in order to cut down the time you have to talk on later ones that we might struggle with, so you could try taking that approach.
