Hi! Whoever took the german writing exam last year, do you remember what the questions were or like the themes - mine is a week away and id love to just focus on the themes which haven’t come up the last 2 years but the 2024 paper isn’t anywhere to be found online. This would be of massive help as I really want a good mark to continue german for a level. Thanks so much.

Instead of asking for the questions you should probably focus on revising everything because the 2024 paper is locked so it can be used as a mock. I think you should also have a little more self belief that you can do well regardless of what themes come up, because they may well repeat some of the themes from last year. It is also important remember that the writing is only one part of your grade and you need to make sure you can do well on the reading and listening.

Okay, thankyou, there is just so much so I’m trying to be as efficient as I can aha

I think the 2024 paper was in my mock. My exam is next week too lol. So for my mocks i only did 2 questions out of the 4 potential themes because we only have to do 2. I did school for the 90 words and for the 150 words i think it was what is better watching TV at home or at the movies. I can't remember the other 2 themes. Hope this helps

Will I have lost a mark on the translation if I put “Kaufhaus” for shopping centre rather than “Einkaufzentrum”?
