How do you get an A* in A Level French

I tried to ask my teachers but I didn't really understand what they were saying so maybe someone could explain to me what the A* requirements are for French?
Hello! This may have changed from when I did A Level French but as far as I know you need to get 90% in all of your A2 modules. This means that your written and spoken French needs to be virtually perfect. In my opinion, the key to mastering a language is to understand the grammar. If your grammar is solid, the rest will flow much more easily.

It is worth knowing that on your cultural topics you get marked on what you say as much as how accurately you say it. Make sure that you have a wide and detailed knowledge of your cultural topics.

Hope that helps! :smile:

At least 320/400 UMS in the whole A level and at least 180/200 UMS in the A2 units. (Same as all 4 unit A levels).
