AQA A Level French Paper 1 7652/1 - 12th June 2023 [Exam Chat]

Original post by rosepctals

it was A and C for the first person and E and F for the second
the first person didn’t know it was happening & it reminded her of her childhood
i cant rmbr the second person but it was definitely e and f

The second person said she wasn’t impressed and didnt think “ca va durer” or something - the answers were next to each other

First of all, skill issue, lol.

Secondly - is this like, not an obvious conclusion to come to before you make your choices.

Thirdly - boundaries are adjusted for native influence, otherwise they’d literally be 95%

I disagree about boundaries being adjusted for native influence- the A* boundary in 2019 was literally 89% which isn't that far off 95
this guy in my class has a uni offer of A*AA and two of his a-levels are german and french which he is native level in, literally cheating the system
and then he has the nerve to say paper 2 essays are as hard as A-level english lit HAHA
It's completely unfair and an entirely different qualification should be offered to native speakers

AQA was so sneaky tho with that cuz they literally talked about all of them and at first i wrote down the thing about anxiety but then i heard them say more than a half to do with sleep so i’m glad i changed it from C B B B to C A B B

Respectfully I think the boundaries should be high to reflect linguistic standard which is definitely proportionate to the amount of work you put in! That aside, many natives also struggle with certain words. I do Russian A-Level and that’s difficult for natives as well.

Guys I put il était à son bord instead il était à bord son bateau. I basically ran out of time because 1) I was late as I thought the exam was 1pm and 2) I had to leave during the exam because I was sick so most of my answers were rushed towards the end. But I’m hoping that’s cool right? Half a mark maybe hahaha

Think the 3rd point for the listening summary was that they arent allowed to have opinions on other things

lupin literature:
- he'd escaped/was fleeing something
- he was on board the ship
- he had hurt his right arm

- there was ligntning
- the electricity things stopped working

- on saturday he broke into Baron S's house
- he didn't nick anything

- he said the the furniture wasn't good enough for him (what a king!) cos it wasnt authentic so wasnt worth his time.
- something else ive forgotten?

- she laughed at his jokes
- she seemed interested in his anecdotes
- another thing I've forgotten

- they would work together to do their own investigation
- they would share the money

Madagascar poverty
Plan for the future - denis I think?
the difference between men and women - C (or whoever the middle one was)
infrastructure - mimi
countryside = worse - Denis
(I had one more Mimi (cant remember which) and the rest Cynthia)

On the madagascar question:

- Denis who said there needs to be planning for the future
- Cynthia witnessed poverty in person - témoin
- Cynthia witnessed dificulty for women and inequality
- Mimi commented on infrastructure
- Cynthia commented on growing economic instability
- Mimi commented on the fact that there might be disturbances (riots)
- Denis said countryside was worse than the city
