AQA A-Level Spanish 7692 Paper 2 7th June 2019

would that be under "El Racismo" or the "Igualdad de los sexos" do you think?

El Racismo.

Oh okay, only because I thought you always had a choice between an AS card and an A2 card (and La inmigración y El Racismo are both A2)

you're right...idk...mostly blocked it out of my mind lol

I did mine about a week and a half ago! You will be absolutely fine and you definitely know more Spanish than you think! Just make sure you have your IRP down to pat and it doesn't go over the 2 minutes. The card was fine, as long as you remember to ask 2 questions and they will ask you 2 unknown questions too. For the card, when I had to choose, I went for the one that I could talk the most about...so I could fill the 5/6 mins. I went over my research notes I made whilst I was doing the IRP before the exam, just to remind me about the topic etc. It goes by pretty fast...good luck, I'm sure you'll do great!!

My speaking card went pretty badly but my IRP couldn’t have gone any better which is good. How are you revising for the other two papers? What book and film are you studying?

my book is La Casa de Bernarda Alba, and my film is Pan’s Lab! What themes/ characters are we expecting to come up?

i'm hoping it will be something like compare Ofelia and Vidal...cos i could go on for days about it lol. last year it was compare the relationship between ofelia/mercedes and analyse director's techniques...so i'm guessing they might do something different this year?? For the book, idk, probably a character question on Adela/Bernarda

ooh a question on Ofelia and Vidal would be a dream! I would also like disobedience, or perhaps the treatment of women in the film. I’m not as confident for La Casa 😣

My book is La Casa de Bernarda Alba and my film is El Laberinto del Fauno. Lots of flashcards on quizlet for all the unknown vocab, grammar exercises in the AQA grammar book, using the past papers, kerboodle, practising past paper questions for the essays etc! You?

My book is Como Agua Para Chocolate and my film is also El Laberinto del Fauno. Yeah I’ve been making flash cards and done a few past papers but I don’t seem to be improving at all

What do you struggle most with? For me, it is getting the marks for grammar (or more importantly, not losing marks for stupid mistakes!)

I’m the same! I’m happy with my marks for content, but I make silly grammar mistakes like agreements, or choosing the wrong ser/ estar.

I'm studying La Casa for the book and Ocho Apellidos Vascos for the film, both of which are quite tricky imo. Anyone got any predictions for what might come up?

La casa I'm thinking might be a question on Adela herself (Bernarda came up last year and Pepe el Romano came up on the specimen paper) and possibly the other choice might be on the theme of love/desire (repression came up on the specimen paper and the role of society came up last year) might be talking nonsense though!

I think you're right...though I suppose they could ask us to analyse the sisters as a whole? El Laberinto del Fauno! You?
