I thought the reading was really easy but the listening was hard :frown:
Reading was okay. I thought the Olympics question was quite hard! The listening was just insanely hard.

I was surprised by how hard the listening was (especially the embarrassing question) but I found the reading pretty easy.

Yeah she spilled coke and the secretary died of laughter or something? That's what I put anyway.
And the other one was that there was a person with short hair at the ice cream store that she runs and she thought it was a man but it was a woman.

I just about managed to get those 2 but the last 1 I had no idea so I just made a guess :P

For the last embarrassing one I got he made a funny impression of the boss.
Any one have ideas of the school 50 years ago? Mine is DG,EA
As for that Neoline girl I put ABAB which doesn't seems convincing.

I can't remember the letters but I got separate classes for girls and boys and discipline for the first 2 boxes and then class size and the school day for the next 2 boxes but I guessed the school day one and I wasn't really sure of the other ones so definitely don't assume those are right

For neoline I got CBAC, I felt quite confident that they were all right except for the first one but yeah I may be wrong

Like I said before I think they will be low because I haven't seen one person who thought the test wasn't hard and please don't take my answers as correct and be disheartened because I'm not too confident either! :tongue:
Reading was okay, listening was bloody hard!

The reading was fine for me but the listening was so so hard! Everyone came out of the exam saying it was hard even the people in my class that usually get the best grades so the grade boundaries will be low. The listening paper was harder than a past listening paper and the grade boundary for that one was 29/40 so im guessing this year it might be 26/40 which sounds kinda low but the exam was so hard!
