Reading wasn't too bad but the listening was just pure guessing

Do you remember any of your answers for the reading paper, towards the end of the paper?


I put inevitable for the last question but I don't think it's right
I don't even know. The papers were definitely harder than the previous years but.... I guess it's all down to results day and grade boundaries.

Look at the bright side, last year it was 33 for full ums and the test was piss easy, so this years horrendous godzilla dwarfing thing will probably be like 28 for full ums

Logically speaking, if your like an A* student in the previous papers and therefore you are good at spanish...then there's no reason you shouldn't get it in this paper. It just wouldn't be reasonable for edexcel to put the grade boundaries so high because us people who have dedicated our souls to Spanish deserve more than that...:colondollar:. ( And I know some native in the country will get full marks I hope they are ignored when setting the grade boundary).

Oh I'm not saying I'm good I'm pretty bad at spanish as it is, never mind this horrific test, I'm just saying for people who are good at spanish and then are worrying about their marks, that everyone would find it difficult so the grade boundaries are lower and it'll all be chill

i put that too.
no one in the whole country did not got full marks , definitely.
Edexcel has to limit the grade boundaries to
24 - A* for listening
26 - A* for Reading

It was impossible.:angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry::angry:
the people who would get full marks would be the people who have spanish as their first language tbh.
oh thank god other people found it hard. I thought the reading was okay but like three quarters of the listening was guesses. I put inevitable too for that question on the reading!

Exactly what I thought !
that pretty much did throw me, i only caught on after the first run through so i probably only got like 2 out of 4 on that (yay)
