I meant their organisation of it but mine too haha! I found the paper very interesting and wanted to write so much more. In a way was hoping to have a bland paper (like the some of the past ones) where I had to search out arguments. This was the opposite. So much there I could hardly begin to touch on it.

Yess I really agree with this! I though the viewpoint was super interesting and there was so much to say about it. It was also on a subject which I was interested in as opposed to some of the slightly more boring ones in the spec papers I've seen. I feel like the organisation of the structure of these extracts always tend not to be suuuper coherent the whole way through as its usually taken as an excerpt from somewhere. Anyway I'm so glad its finally done! Now just the interview left 🙂 which languages are you applying for, and for which college?

I have applied to Emma for French and Spanish. They interview in person, however as far as I can see Emma haven’t offered any interviews yet for MML. I wonder whether they wait on the results of this test?
So now I have a rather uncomfortable wait 😳 How about you?

I've applied for Murray Edwards, for French and Spanish as well! Both post A level. Which language did you do the exam in? I did mine in Spanish. That's so interesting, I thought that everyone invited to do this exam would have received an interview already?! I'm pretty sure that I saw somewhere that the results of the test don't determine the interview, there just another aspect that they consider your application in. So when you got the email for the exam, it was just for the exam, without an interview? That's so strange! Good luck omg.

Yes I think you are right they look at the overall picture. I will keep hoping 🤞I think it’s an Emma thing.
I did the paper in French.
Good luck for your interview! When is it? Are you doing it online at home?

Went ok I think. How are you guys preparing for interview (esp unseen text?)

Reply 49

i think the test went okay, for me the english section was less organised because i rushed it due to there only being 20 minutes to write it, section A was better though

also do u guys know what mark is good for an offer or nah

Im applying for french and Spanish ab initio at Clares. Have to say am a bit stressed after that assessment. Thought the extract was really interesting and loved the topic but reading back over my response I made a few silly mistakes and a tense error so im a bit terrified about that. Do they tell us our score for this? Guessing no but maybe somebody knows more info as everything ik is a bit vague.

Thank you! 🙂 Mine's on the 15th of Dec and at home. In many ways I'm jealous that you guys get the in-person ones, I think I would prefer that honestly. Good luck for your interview omg!!

Yess I agree! 20 minutes wasn't a ton of time for all there was to say...

Omg I so agree. This whole day I've been thinking about my small grammar mistakes (I made a silly one on agreement) and it's so unfortunate! Maybe that's the bad thing about doing it at home and being able to keep the exam paper... I also loved the topic, but now I definitely can think of more/better points I could have added. I don't think they tell us a score for this, so we can only hope for the best! Good luck!

I suppose the most important thing is that it's done now, so we can (hopefully?) move on to worrying about other things! Good job everyone - sure you did great :smile:

We were on the same zoom call then! Still not heard anything from Emma have you? The wait is unbearable!
Do you have far to travel to an interview?

Yep! I was really surprised at the number of people on the call actually. I don't want to stress you out at all and they're probably going through them systematically so I'm sure it doesn't mean anything but I did get an interview invitation yesterday. I live in Somerset so it's a fair way, how about you? I feel very unprepared for the interview so far and I've just finished mocks season at college so I've not really had time to do much haha
