AQA Spanish A-level 7692 - 11 & 14 Jun 2018 [Exam discussion]

I remember doing them and the marking threw me off completely! They worded it completely different and they sort of rejected literal answers and wanted us to word it in our own words which I'm not a fan of tbh!

I definitely do hope the real thing is easier and more lenient, I guess.

Does anyone have any idea what they think the grade boundaries might be this year with it being a new spec? I've been doing practice papers but can't estimate where I think I'm at

Yes! I remember thinking the exact same thing, they rejected the literal words whereas in the old spec that was what they wanted, I'm sure they will be more lenient but maybe just sort of but it in your own words slightly!

how did everyones exam go? I found the listening, translations and summaries easy, but the reading was quite challenging! I found this paper a lot harder overall than the specimen paper.

For the last listening, the letters we had to put into the boxes were the ones we heard and not the ones we didnt hear, right?

I found the paper mixed, listening, summaries and translations were good but the gap fill I think I got 0

Don't know if I have any chance of an A now unfortunately. If I got 74/100 on this paper, 52/60 on the speaking and 65/80 on the writing so 191/240, what do you reckon this would equate to grade wise? Thank you!

The papers have different weightings and it should be as follows:

RWL : 74x2=148
Speaking: 52x2=104
Literature: 65x1=65

Total: 148+104+65=317 out of 400, which is 79%. The rest will depend on the grade boundaries

I found it mixed - parts I thought were relatively easy but others not so much. I hated the book extract, and wasn't a fan of the Spanish to English translation but I thought the listenings were on the whole okay. Yeah, I thought this was a lot harder than the specimen overall.
