something along the lines of when/how long were you homeless
I thought it was along the lines of ¿Desde cuándo estás sin techo?

Initially I put how long have you been homeless, but I think it was actually since when, so I changed it.

I can't remember which one I put. Aren't they basically the same thing?

Yeah AQA can be really pedantic. They're similar but they'd elicit different answers:

How long? 9 months
Since when? Last June

That said, it's not certain I heard correctly anyway. ;-)
so i you said when were you homeless would that be wrong
It really depends what the correct wording they used was. Also, if it is deemed a hard paper, perhaps they will lay off on the nitpicking a little more? Who knows tbh. AQA are a law to themselves.

@westsidegirl I'd say if you got cuándo - when, you're probably ok.

To be honest i feel like i have about 8 marks in that whole listening paper! That isnt even a grade

same i am depending on my coursework to save my spanish gcse. the listening is 20% which can bring it a whole grade down.
For the tener structure question:
1) Tener lugar - It took place somewhere
2) Tener miedo - She was afraid of her boss because he was aggressive.
3) Tener sueno - This means to be sleepy, she was saying that she went to bed early because she was sleepy.
4) Tener ganas - This means to want to, she wants to work in England because it will be exciting.

Honestly my target is an A but I can guarantee that Im not gonna get it due the absolutely horrendous listening
From what's listed in this thread I've already lost 11 marks in listening and 5 marks in reading - thats on top of the questions that havent been listed as well omg. i need really low grade boundaries ugh
Right, looking at this unofficial ms, I TOTALLY failed. How many grades can coursework bring it up by? I actually worked hard on revising and then
this **** happened.

I understand you so much, I feel my biology exam went bad and I'm really annoyed because I literally memorised word for word the entire blooming thing. But just think of the good parts of the exam and they overpower the bad parts. Try it now and you will feel so much better
