Official AQA German AS

god that was awful !
My marks are usually 30 / 35
33 / 40 and 31 / 35 but I don't think that I will get that now ....
I've messed up 2 of the simple gap fills by rushing but I think I've got the rest correct in compensation. The other bit that was especially hard was the stuff about the computer doctor and the stay at home dad but I hate those long questions where you have to decipher information to be honest.

Yeah same here, aced it

I don't think I'll get my normal grade either, for me it was a mix of a tricky paper and me being useless Looks like people here have done well though, but I wish that the grade boundaries will go down...

You're probably over thinking things to be honest! I know I've lost marks from what i'm reading here but you always find that the people on here are speaking about the most difficult questions and are most likely not going to mention the easy questions so presume you've smashed some parts of it!

*Also what was the exact essay question in English my friends and I have all answered different things.... (Holidays)*

This is a rough idea...

What is better. A holiday at home or in a exotic country?
Why do more people have tattoos and piercings?
Does TV have a bad influence on family life?

Which essay did you pick?

Hopefully, the boundaries will be lower than last year's. You might have done better than expected!

Urlaub mate no brainer- it was a gift of a question! wbu?

Ok well that's essentially what I answered but I have a couple of friends that interpreted the "zu Hause" as literally a holiday in your own home and have had me panicking all day!..

I hope it isn't as bad as it seems, I imagine I'll still want to retake to get an A though. Guess we'll all torture ourselves by looking at an unofficial paper soon haha! I'm not sure about the holidays question, I did the TV one. Does anyone know whether the AS paper is 'easy' after you've done the A2 course? I've heard some people say that you improve so much that it's significantly easier.

No, in this context it referred to having a 'holiday' at home.
It was essentially a synonym of "heimaturlaub"

Ok well that's good at least I've done a great essay to compensate for a shiteee set of paper answers ahha

I am sure you did better than you thought you did- how did you find the grammar?

I found some of it easy , I think I got most of it but I rushed the very first verb which was like lessen and just put "la(umlaut)sst" because I always see the verb in that form and I was running out of time .. I got the wa(umlaut)re etc and I feel pretty decent with the adjective endings! How about you?
