GCSE FRENCH 13th MAY EXAMS THREAD

This year my listening exam is going to be in the drama studio because last years Spanish listening went terribly as there was an echo in the sports hall!! (They all got D and below and have to retake the exams)

Similar situaion with our school bell. That's my excuse anyway. :wink:

Ever used a linguistics website where you navigate round by clicking on planets etc?

Got all curious now. It was back in Y8 German classes when we used it.

Never, only ever used linguascope for spanish and french and it did me well

What were everyone's reaons for taking French in the first place?

I was made to in order to obtain the English Baccalaureate. Is it even going to mean anything for us in the future or not? I hope it does after this.

Really? We have used linguascope before and I don't find it useful at all. If anything, I found it more of a distraction.

I chose it because I did spanish from year 7 to 9 and even though I was good at it, found it very boring so changed to french which I enjoy so much!

Whether it will mean anything to you in the future depends, it depends on your career, even if it doesn't help it's good to have a MFL!

Same. SAM Learning as well.

It's okay for memorising basic vocab but definitely not my main source of revision

Thank you. I'm just going through them and saying the verb in English.

I bet my mum thinks I am going crazy or something... :tongue:

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE! (Or should I say 'Bonne chance?') I can't really add anything new, but I'm just going to say that highlighting unknown words from past papers and learning their definitions has been the biggest help pour moi! :biggrin:

To add onto this, if you do a listening past paper get hold of the transcript and highlight unknown words and learn them!!

BBC bitesize > languages > french > clips
excellent for writing, listening, reading and speaking exams, can easily just copy straight from them!

Good luck!

I'm doing the exams on Monday too, with WJEC. I don't really like their board though and we've done a lot of AQA past papers for practice which I much preferred. WJEC tend to have easier questions and less unknown vocab, but their boundaries are so high as a result so even slight mistakes can affect an entire grade. Once it was 38/40 for an A* yet with AQA you could drop around 10 marks! But hopefully I'll still do ok and hopefully if I relax in the exam I'll be able to think best. We actually get a whole French revision period before the lesson which is nice.

I think I only need to get 2 A's to get an A* overall because I got full marks in the controlled assessment. I love French though (and Spanish too) so I'm quite happy to start with one of my most preferred exams!

Im dreading this exam with AQA, our school has done everything to prepare us but we still feel helpless and unsure as to what we are doing. Hopefully the paper is easy!
