Does anybody have any tips for listening as I always do bad on it even when I think I’ve got the answer correct.

In the few minutes before the questions are read out go through the whole paper and just write out any vocab you know based on the questions - that helps me to know what I'm looking for in the audio files. Also be careful for tricks in the questions bc they like to do that

I mean, I do pretty well on the exams and I do put a lot of work into the subject, I've been taking it as a dedicated GCSE subject for 4 years in school. Also I go to France quite often and up until a few years ago, I lived with someone who was fluent in french so that might've made a small difference idk

It actually went good I wasn’t expecting it to cos the 2023 paper was so hard but it was a lotttt better than that

Reading was easy but listening was a bit dodgy
For those of you who feel it didn't go too well, please don't be too harsh on yourself! You have likely done a lot better than you think :smile:
