IGCSE French Edexcel - 21st may

Does anyone have any recommendations for how long we should spend on each question for the french reading and writing paper for tomorrow?
thanks

I would say 50 mins for the 100+ words writing task - also do you know any websites to help with revision , there is absolutely nothing for revision 😭🤦*♀️

I chose 7c, just cuz most of my mocks have been similar to this theme and it’s one of the strongest topics fr me to talk about. plus the question was easy tbh

ya quality over quantity fr any essay add subject tbh, I only wrote around 65 words for the 10 marker but made sure to include all 4 words given and use good structures. that’s where the marks come from
