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

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:

Hi I’m not sure if anyone remembers exactly but if you do what did they say with the nuts one and the river one because i heard jusqu’à so I put just B as technically walks up to river not along it?? Idk correct me and also the very first one on listening was it save money or give to charity??
Any help appreciated <33
