i did not like the listening but i found the reading was good, i feel like previous year listening were easier, much easier. my only issue with listenings is that i have a horrid attention span and they speak so slow, so even though i understand what they are saying i cannot actually write it down :,), do you remember what you put for the questions about the doctor in africa, i was zoned out in that. im not too worried tho as i feel writing is my strongest suit and have alot of time to prep
This is such a relief to hear!!! I also felt the last 30% of the listening was much much harder than the past papers I did! It was almost like I didn’t understand anything near the end!!! Completely zoned out somehow!!!

Does anyone else take GCSE Japanese? How are you preparing during this last week before the Japanese exams?

I’m worried that most people who take this are native speakers…so the threshold will be high 😧

Yeah the grade boundaries seem to be very high almost every year. Not as bad as OCR English Lit though - thank god!
