A-Level French

Hi I need help on the best way to revise for A-Level French paper 3, I do L'etranger and La Haine, I'm not sure what the best way is to revise for the exam like would it be more beneficial to only focus on characters or themes? Also where's the best place to find quotes

You can use ChatGPT to search the Internet for the most commonly valued quotes. However double-check the info as AI is sometimes inaccurate.

I'm not qualified to advise on the best way to revise. Do you understand the common sentence starters?

For example:
Cela souligner...
Cela montre...

This is what I'd be most likely to forget. But I didn't do A Level French so I'm dumb.

Using object pronouns is good for language too, such as cela nous montre! I don't study that book or film but using: objectnpronouns/ subjunctive tense/ vocabulary specific from the book and film help in terms of grammar; however, all of this is meaningless if you make silly grammatical errors: using the wrong verb forms, incorrect adjective agreement, using the wrong pronouns as you will not be able to access the top marks. So make sure your grammar is practically perfect, I always make silly errors which hinders my grade so great!😍

You should read the assessment criteria https://cdn.sanity.io/files/p28bar15/green/c410b8c331c94ccb22fd8ed3b6b49e78052043ef.pdf

Try and find articles online about your book and film specifically, I used Quizlet and found loads of essay plans for my film.
Also focus on characters and themes because sometimes questions will focus on each aspect (a character or theme). For quotes, do you own a copy of the book? maybe re-read the book?
ANYWAYS IL FAUT QUE TU AIES DE BONNE GRAMMAIRE OU TA VIE SERA TRÉS DIFFICILE.
