    Lets see man.

    220 marks go for tomorrow and 160 are comprehensions. The first two are easy enough, questions are asked in English. Then there's two where the questions are asked in French. So learn the question words:

    Trouvez dans la premiere sectuion - Find in this section...
    Relevez dans la deuxieme section - Take out (find) in the second section...
    Citez dans la troisieme section - Quote in the thrid section...
    Selon/d'apres la quatrieme - According to the fourth section...

    Nommez - Name...
    Un mot - A word...
    Un expression - A phrase...
    Une phrase - A sentence...

    Quand - when
    Comment - how
    Ou - where
    Pourquoi - why
    Combien de - how many
    Qui - who
    Qu'est-ce que - what

    That fill-in-the-gaps thing in the written will be a handy 30 marks, after that 2 of postcard/message/letter...they'll be the only challenging thing, for me anyway.

    Need a few phrases suitable for same, anyone got any handy?

    Also 100 marks tomorrow for the aural - its OL so if you leave early (who wouldn't, took me 35mins in the mocks) don't forget to come back at 12.10 :p

    Does anyone know what grammer questions come up in the comprehensions? There are usually one or two questions asking you to find an adjective or a verb in the l'imparfait or something along those lines"

    I did ordinary french for the mocks. You don't really need any phrases for the written piece, especially since you have all just moved down from honours! If you just stick to the basics and if you are able to rewrite what they ask you to (even with one or two mistakes) you'll get full marks. Here are some basic things to look over:
    postcard or message: cher/chere
    juste une petite mot pour te dire que...
    A tout l'heure/ A bientot
    Journal: Cher Journal, Bon Nuit
