I agree, the reading one wasn’t too bad but the listening was a **** show 😂

And so much vocab that I've never even seen before!

I know!! I didn’t even know what half of the texts were talking about I just copied the bit that looked relevant 😂😂
You're all gonna hate me but I thought it was great, except the translations were a bit mean
They should have given us words like 'heiter'
Then again I need an A so I did a lot of revision
I have been revising non stop, got consistent As throughout the year , find practice easy, and have one to one lessons. I found that exam horrible. Really really horrible . so much I didn't understand exactly and therefore found hard to answer the questions. The fudge even was that exam !!! I went in so confident in my abilities for once and came out crying; I hope the grade boundaries are super low!
I had to skip the 2 reading box fill questions just have time to decipher the listening Zusammenfassung 😫 I need a B but at this point I’d be surprised if I get a C

Literally nothing could have prepared us for that exam! There was so much random vocab that I’d never come across before, and I’ve been revising since the beginning of AS 😂 for the R, F, NA questions what did people put for the first one? I said NA but a lot of people in my class said R 🤔

I put R, that was one of the few I didn’t guess haha
I thought it was horrible and incredibly unfair

I put NA because it didn't specifically say anything about the number of atheists growing - legit was tearing my hair out about most of those questions haha! Wasn't the best paper I won't lie haha
I felt like none of the vocab I studied so hard in the spec came up!? Wth

Yeah I am haha - and yeah that was the exam I'd revised most for and i made so many silly little mistakes on the translation.... you only need 22/30 ticks for 8-10 so I am praying i've not done as bad as i think!

I literally had just a few minutes left for the last translation so I rushed it quite a bit and just completely guessed neigen, I just looked it up now and I guessed it correctly, I'm so relieved😌😂😂
