I put peint as a complete guess!

Thought the reading was hard, especially that question where you had to join the sentences up... For the synonym one I put : (not in order)
Trouver : découvrir
Maigrir : perdre du poids
Confiant : être sûr
Vraiment : réellement
Initiés : acceptés?

Can't remember anymore
I thought the close test was hard, I missed the pluperfect devenir and guessed the être to be soit


for découvrir I put chercher

yeah cherche with an accent on the e

yeah cherche with an accent on the e


That probably means we're wrong because the question was "Trouver" wasn't it? Cherche with the accent isn't an infinitive :eek::eek::eek:

But chercher means 'to look for' whereas decouvert means found/discovered which is more similar to trouver isn't it?

Ngl it seems like they should accept both if they were between the two either side (I can't remember whether they were or not but it said the words were in order) because http://www.synonymo.fr/synonyme/trouver so that would seem a little unfair

Don't think it'll matter whether you used the conjugated version from the paragraph or turned it into an infinitive. I'm pretty sure they just said to find the expression so both will do.

I found this exam way harder than all the past papers - does anyone agree?
I don't do AS French, but based on these replies, it doesn't look particularly difficult...

It may be worth mentioning that I speak French fluently anyway.

Although, as I'm taking it next year...

I saw on the first page some cultural topics, such as Jean De Florette, L'Occupation etc.

Are these ones that are part of the exam board or do you get to choose them? Because, franchement, I would LOVE to do an essay all about Serge Gainsbourg...

That's part of A2 I think, not AS

I'm doing A2 at the moment and you choose a topic that you like and write your essay on it but not for AS.

Nope - you have to find the exact version so it will always be in the same format. The answer was cherche (with accent as past participle)
