174/200 in total :biggrin:

Does anyone know what the A* prediction mark would be, ~170 or ~180ish?

180/200 and 360/400 :smile:

Can people on here tell me whether they would recommend me doing a level french? Im really interested in it and have always loved it since GCSE. I'm just wondering how much if your time it took up? And if it was a really difficult a level

It depends on how much time you want to spend on it; the more you spend, the better your grade (like any other A Level). But I have to say that studying French is a different experience to any other subject which is rewarding in itself. Also, it's definitely a useful prospect to know a different language.

SO HAPPY!

Aah no, I'm hoping to do English at Oxford!

Although I have read quite a few French books... definitely read Un Sac de Billes, L'etranger and Une tempete (Cesaire).

Good luck! :smile:

Oooh! This is so exciting, do you know which college you're going to apply to yet? And yes I've read a bit, i'm currently reading Camu's La Peste, but to be honest I am so busy! I'm applying for italian ab initio so trying to teach myself a bit. Dreading starting my personal statement...no idea where to begin. Good luck!

Have a look at this - AP exams are the American equivalent of A-levels, and those lucky people have one in French Literature! (There's a really good reading list, and links to dictionaries of French literary terms, etc).

What other subjects do you do? X

Aah I have family in America... they're always going on about AP exams so I thought I'd take a look... if you dig around a bit, I think there's a Italian Language & Culture AP, which could be useful?

I do English Lit, History, French and Classics. Totally regret Classics - dropping it! X

I know right! Not sure yet, I liked Magdalene and Christs though, they were really lovely :smile:

ooh sounds good! I have a fair amount of reading to do, I've been reading a more modern book but really want to read some Emile Zola! Ooh wow! I would love to do ab initio Italian too but I wouldn't be able to bear not studying French and german!
