For me it was the complete opposite,reading was fairly easy for me while I think that I messed up quite a lot in writing.How many marks do you think you got in each paper?

Struggled badly to understand Question 8 in the reading. I had no idea what they were talking about.

Any tips for Thursday's written? And - are you going to take a dictionary into the exam?

Yh writing was fine for me too apart from the fact that I wrote a lot more than 70 words in the first section but then again I only used up the space that was given to us and in all the examiner reports there were students who wrote over 100 words in the first section and still got full marks.

Haha, same I kind of messed up on the one thing that I had planned to do to make my essay better. Basically the plan was to use an arabic proverb in my essay but I ended up forgetting words from the proverb and messed up on that which is pretty annoying lol.
