Do you know if I need the whole abstract topics for pass? Like crime and stuff like that?
What's making me even more nervous is that I'm the very 2nd person in my year to go, I'm at 10am Monday we come back from holidays, so I'll not know if the examiner's nice before going in, so I can't mentally prepare myself.

Even thinking about it and I start shaking I'm that nervous, no joke! :L
Yeah I can't seem to grasp the verbs , or I get mixed up. French isn't my strongest subject. It depends on your examiner all of mine got general topics and I got asked to describe the school , my house , what I want to do next year and what country would I go to . We got things like that.
I was one of the last I think I'm middle this time .

Oh right ok, and does it drag out or does at actually fly by?

I'm just gonna learn about myself, my family, my area, my house, the school and what I want to do in the future and then my document? That'd be enough wouldn't it?

How thoroughly do they test your knowledge of tenses?

Well it felt like ages when I done it I couldn't wait for it to end only because I knew I didn't do well.

I think so yeah , and then like hobbies sport or music or hobbies to sway the conversation to something you want to talk about.

They just ask the questions in different ways and you have to answer in the right tense as in like the future you'd use "je irai" (I think thats it) lol if they asked .

With the document can they start asking you questions regarding it and about stuff you won't know?

They usually wait until the end. They ask what they think you would have studied for. General things you should know about your topic.
Like I got asked about the rides in disneyland as I said I went there in France as well as visit the city I got asked about what rides were there an I hadn't learnt what they were in french so I ended up saying them in english with a french accent not the best idea lol .
Just try and cover an possible question they could ask you.
