bruh i just did the 2022 paper for practice and got 67%😭so if the grade boundaries are like they were before covid then im in the shit💀 cus i need an A or a B if im going to get into uni🥱
cuz of the slightly lower boundaries it will be like 65% for a B, 76% for A, 87% for A*
no im so scared i have chemistry and french tomorrow and they CLASH so im going to be crying in my chem exam in the afternoon about the monstrosity of my translation that occurred in the morning xx
there’s probs gonna be some weird irregular verb and the subjunctive and pluperfect in the translation
watch every single grammar structure to exist be in the translation

I'm just hoping they don't throw in something from the criminality topic along the lines of "electronic bracelets and community service are considered effective methods to reduce the reoffending rate in France" :colonhash:

I have absolutely no idea how to revise for this paper. I’ve done nothing 😭 I just have the mindset I’ll know the vocabulary or not. How has everyone else been revising. Apparently 60% of candidates are fluent this year, im doomed 😭

its actually unfair how much that impacts the grade boundaries as they take it as an easy a level then affects those who aren’t fluent🥲

That's so unfair wtf. How is it allowed????!! and its why we neeed to get insane marks for an A*. ridiculous

I can't seem to get my paper 1 above 76/100 or so but that should be good for an A so hopefully I'll be able to manage it tomorrow.

Bonne chance à tous!!
