What did you guys get for the coldplay question, especially the last one was it a or b or ab

I just put A

i only put B for the last coldplay one because I think the last sentence said something like “they hope others follow their example” but I didnt know since it didnt specify carbon footprint - im so cooked that 7 is not coming 😭😭

by the way what did you guys put for the one that was like “what exact date is he leaving” or something

that was the WORST listening paper. i normally get 32-36/50for listening (for the 2023 paper etc) but man this test was atrocious. i think i got 15/50. what on earth was that listening exam. **** you to whoever made the test.

I agree I usually get grade 7/8 and get 40/50 but I don't even think I got 30

i put A+B because i reread it and Coldplay is reducing their carbon footprint using low-energy lighting and solar panels and at the end they said they hope that other groups do the same, so they're implying they want other groups to reduce their carbon footprint - it wasn't that i didn't understand the text I was just so conflicted and I hate aqa for it so idk for sure

do you think the 1st of august will count?

probably not because it hasn't really said the first, just the beginning
