my french speaking exam thoughts

did my french speaking today and all in all i think it went well and i think it's like 4/5 worthy (im on foundation so yay!) i did a lot better than my mock. i think the trick was sort of to not worry while i was in there, like i couldn't change anything now, and i still have 3 more exams which contribute to the grade so i just was relaxed and remembered stuff ig??
roleplay went good, i answered all the questions, asked my teacher a question, it went well
photocard was okay, the photo was dreadful but i still sort of managed (only listed 3 things) it was just like 6 people in work uniforms (doctor, chef, etc.) with literally no background just white so it was kind of hard to answer but i did ok
general conversation went good! she asked me like the first 6 questions from my theme in order so i just remembered the answers in order. i did stumble on a past tense question at the start so she kept asking me past tense questions but it was ok by the end because i was just saying the same sort of answers. i dont think she actually asked me any future tense because she just kept making me do past.
im very happy though, and if you haven't done your speaking exam yet, just revise, learn some possible simple and complex phrases to use in case you need to think of an answer off the top of your head, and just relax because it will be ok!
