so true, i cant keep going to bed at 2am 😢. I am feeling quite ready for this paper, its definitely the easiest of the three papers but the most marks depends on it so i need to make sure i don't fck up time management or anything else which would lose me marks.

I have done the 2019 past paper because (i think???) this is the hardest one i could find.

yep i also find this one the easiest, i kinda also need it to carry my grade after my speaking performance lmao.
yeah i will have done all the past papers by end of tomorrow (just need to do specimen and 2022 tomorrow) - i think i ran out of time on 2019, but on all others i have been comfortably finishing before the end.

Can the short written answers to questions in section a and b be grammatically incorrect? I have just noticed in the mark scheme it says 'Comprehension questions to be answered in target language but with no AO3 marks'

umm hopefully u see this before the exam, but make a few bullet point notes on ur first listen through, thinking of synonyms for words theyve used, or entire rephrasings - i.e. u can use turn verbs into nouns and vice versa, use synonymous conjunctions etc. make sure you've included the points they asked for but not any irrelevant info as some answers might be rejected. have u done any past papers?

i dont even know, the first listening question was confusing asf n it was 4 mins for a match the phrases question, translations were alright in general but had some very specific vocab so i deff lost a good few marks there
