i’ve complained about this to literally everyone who will listen to me cus i could easily get an A with 2022 grade boundaries and even 2019 but with the 2023 ones i’ll be lucky to get a B so i don’t even want to know what i’ll get this year😭😭

i think they will, since 2018/19 grade boundaries that weren't affected by covid were still much lower than last years, so hoping last years was j an anomaly 😭😭

i think if i were answering a ‘to what extent …’ question, i’d do like a for for against? like 2 ways it does show this, 1 way it doesn’t, or vice versa!

translation in pencil, then essays to get myself thinking in french and return to go through the translation at the end and write it in pen when my brain is in gear. don’t ask looll
