They said they adjust the grade boundaries to compensate but there’s no way of knowing. The grade boundaries are ridiculously high due to the Native speakers.


I apologise for my actions 😅😂.

If they're not a native speaker but can speak French then I don't see the issue :dontknow: the problem is people like myself doing the exam (actual native speakers) in my opinion.

Ah/uh I didn't mention having native speakers doing different speaking exams to non-native speakers 🙃😅. Nah my reading and writing sucks.


My bad I was referring to what someone said earlier about there being 2 separate qualifications. I don’t blame you tho. I’d do the exact same if I could but i shall just struggle instead 🤣

Yeah TBF I actually wanted to do this subject (at A-level. Wasn't only doing it for the grade).
Hi everyone! :smile: How did it go?

A-level French

It was a mixed bag - it's the best one I've had (I do Spanish and English Lang+Lit) so far, but it wasn't easy. Some questions felt very vague but I think they could have been worse.
I thought I missed a page when I realised I hadn't done a Gapfill yet, thank god they didn't include one i can never get more than 5. Overall okay paper. I found the translations quite difficult though

definitely would not say lovely but it was okay
I thought it was pretty bad.
Did anyone else have issues with weird sounds on the recording and bits cutting out and the files had weird names about German?
I didn’t like the questions overall - translation was decent but hated the Q about the criminal on the boat

same lmao
i thought the paper was neither bad nor good but some of those questions were horrible 😭😭 i liked the translations somewhat but overall that may have been the worst i’ve performed on a french paper. hoping grade boundaries are lenient cos all i need is a B lmao
I revised all the vocab and was super prepared and thought that was the worst french paper I’ve ever seen
