In the first option for the 150 word (higher tier only), as it saying your Bolivian friend is worried about 'your' health or 'his' health?? I'm really worried, I feel like this could've completely thrown me off in terms of staying accurate to the bullet point. Christ

Same I found the reading and listening hard!!
I hope the grade boundaries reflect on the paper difficulties well so we can get our predicted grades🥹

Grade boundaries are usually highest for the speaking, followed by the writing, followed by the reading followed by the listening. A grade 9 usually stands at about 46-53/60

I don't think it was because he was worried about you spending too much time on technology so would be worried about your health.

Idk the writing and reading was kinda easy. I defo lost about 5 marks in the listening which is so bad omg. So i'm praying that the boundaries are low.

i thought he was worried about us and our health bc it said would we would do in the future to have a healthy/healthier life .....but tbf it doesn't really matter as long as you covered all the bulletpoints !

Anyone remember the bullet points for question 1.2 and 2.2. I did 1.1 and 2.1 but can’t remember what the other options were about. The paper was quite easy compared to Listening and Reading. The translation was a bit tricky though.

I think 2.2 was

•

describe the importance of helping others (or something like that)

•

describe a what you did on a good day of your holidays

do you remember what 1.1 was?

I reckon it'll end up being a bit higher, something along the lines of 210-20

I'm just not sure if I was responding to the bullet point properly - talking about what I am going to do to protect my health, and what he could do to protect his health are separate issues. I might ask my Spanish teacher to show me a copy of the paper, as AQA send about 50 extra copies to each centre but at the same time I know I really need to move on and focus on the next four exams (dwelling on something i can't change will do nothing)
