Only after dropping down from higher haha, for the writing section where it tells you what to include in the notes etc, does writing any extra sentences get you any marks? (:

I think the way it is scored is half for including what they give you and then half for the quality of your language. So if you learn a few easy phrases for the start and finish and stick them in it will be in your favour. Good luck tomorrow!:)

Here are just some simple words and phrases for post cards. Nothing major but just good to read through before the exam.
Oh and just some are missing accents etc.

Gotta learn phrases :O done ordinary last year and was never told to write anything extra.. Just the sentences that were given :O

Mysteriouschic

I thought that went grand!
And with Fleur from Harry Potter on the paper that was interesting.
Overall it was a good paper I'm hoping I get at least a C .

mcpaddington

Pretty good paper, I think I got a B but hopefully scraped an A.

Whatsernamex33

Wasn't bad :P

Anybody want to share their thoughts on the exam? What did ye think of it?

BrittneyC_xo

I was debating between Higher & Ordinary, But I went with Ordinary ! =p

Probably one of the best French papers I've ever done . I think the comprehensions were grand.. and Clemence being there was lovely, she's so pretty! (: I did both questions in A, both in B, & the Journal in C . I really couldn't of been bothered with the other Letter , so I'm happy enough.

Oh, & the listening was pretty good too. Can't believe I mixed up 'South Africa', the answer to what country did the boy & his father visit.. with Sweden! But ohwell ! Overall, a really good paper. I would love a B2. ♥

Carabas

Was an overall grand paper,:) but I couldn't find an example of a feminine adjective in the third section...but there were a few in the fourth......how did other people get on with that question?:D

Whatsernamex33

I thought that the adjective was 'triste', not sure though

Carabas

Aaaahhhh! D'oh! Think ur right!:mad:

kmc_

Delighted with that paper, wasn't expecting it Made a few silly mistakes here and there and the listening brought me down, but sure, hopefully scraped a B, would love an A though

Same i went with "reponse" buts that cant be it it was a terrible guess

bluestripe93

Thought it was a good paper, comprehensions went ok but I couldn't remember some of the words for the postcard

Saw this on my FB too

Hittin the town with Serge's son cause he's some man for the vodka

Carabas

Lol....was that the lad who drinks a litre of vodka? What a dude!:cool:

celtic10000

What points did ye all use for the question 7s ? I said that...
-nobody ever called jenny
-rose was mean to her and didnt involve her

Then for the clemence comprehension i said...
-She played the role of a beautiful magician
-She played a part in a dramatic comedy

There were a few others that i cant remember but do these seem valid?

WestIRL

Hahha that went average as ****! Probably going to get 30 points from French oh dear christ.

That exam was a joke... did it in 40 minutes then got out of there... realised i said "i arrived tomorrow" after I left, but ah well... don't need french

Dropped down to pass a few weeks ago, hoping I got an A. Tape was a bit tricky as I hadn't looked over things such as the weather! Good otherwise
