    Its pretty hard to revise french. Go over your tenses, present, passe compose, imparfait, future, conditionnal, plus-que-parfait, and subjonctive. Know how to read and write them. After that, practise practise, practise. Its the only way, just write questions form papers or whatever. Look up words you dont know and then learn them. I dont think theres any easy solutions to learning french. What grade are you looking for?

    Tapework is probably the most important thing right now - if you've got workbooks/CDs, then use them - or else just listen to the news on TV5 (channel 825 on Sky Digital - or somewhere around that - after the movies, before the porn). Revise grammar, do past paper comprehensions, revise verbs and phrases for written pieces. Maybe make some plans for reaction questions or written pieces. If your french isn't great, then I'd avoid doing the letter/e-mail/fax questions where you have to translate exact information - with the more general questions you've got much more scope for fitting in your own phrases and more freedom to bring it in a direction that you've revised.
    Don't go trying to learn new tenses or minute grammatical details - just revise what you're already fairly sure of, maybe try and learn any of the major things that you may have missed during school (like spotting the present-subjunctive, the passé simple, etc). Also, practice a few of the Q6 on the comprehensions - the english questions where you have to comment on the piece - usually alot harder than they seem.
