    Ah, yeah, you's are definitely write, I didn't have a clue what was going on so just kept swapping and changing between that and borrowing something.
    Knowing me, I could've changed it at the end, genuinely don't remember, I know I changed it 5-6 times.

    Was out at 11 for higher level. I did the comps in about 10 minutes, by the time listening was done it was 10 past 10 and just spent a while doing letters. Think I got an A off of listening and reading and did an alright job at the letter.

    Anybody here actually stay for the full 2 1/2 hours:o If I'm honest I needed every bit of it.

    Quite honestly, I'm mildly disappointed with the tape. Second speaker in part B, the stuff about the exam in part D, and the part about "what's going on in France tomorrow" in Part E blew me away, hadn't a clue.

    Delighted with the comprehensions except parts of Robin Hood person, and written was ok as well except I didn't know what the French for snow was.

    I just said "The mountains are white because the weather is cold. They are nice:D".
