I agree. It was more difficult. Listening Q2?! It was like there wasn't an answer for one of them!
Well done to whoever did essay predictions though!

The exam went quite well for me. The urlaub essay question was a gift of heaven. The gap fill and the 2nd part of the listening was quite awful.

I found question 9 much harder than usual and the Film question gap fill wasn't the best. But overall I thought the paper was ok (however I am resitting) :smile:

Yeah I loved the Urlaub essay, but wouldn't have been able to write about any of the others

I had no idea what the words meant in the smoking question either! Anyone brave enough to attempt question 11?

I was really hoping for a Komm Tech essay... but Urlaub was ok I guess. How much did people write? I managed 245 words.

I have no idea, I wrote about 4 and a half pages but have quote big writing so I'd say around 350-400

I did question 11! I spent a lot of time on first impressions and stuff so I thought it would be the easier option. Not sure if 300 words is enough, I kept a note on the top of my draft sheet to remind me of everything I should try to include I.e. future perfect, pluperfect, conditional perfect, imperfect subjunctive, future, conditional etc. Only ended up using a few of them though :frown:

It was something like "Was macht Martin etwas Besonderes" or something like that. I don't even know if that's his name haha. It was the second question I think. I may have misunderstood the question.

Was that the bit with something about 'geliestet?' if so it was that he won Hausmann of the year, whatever the hell that is :wink:
