Is there a big difference between ordinary and honours? Im considering dropping in the morning because there's a chance the honours paper wont go well and i don't want to end up failing french.

Is it worth it?

YES!!
The pass paper is grand! All you need to know is a form and a postcard The rest is questions you answer directly from the text

Looking at 09 pass paper and it contained a section on filling in about yourself? Is this common in the paper? Any preticular layout for the note etc?

I am thinking about dropping to pass, do they ask the questions in english?

Its soooo easy in comparison to higher, i dropped down.

Theres four comprehensions. 160Marks (40% of your overall)
2 Questions in english.. answer in english
2 Questions in french.. answer in french

Then theres composing. 60Marks (15% of your overall)
You answer two of the following but not in the same section

Filling in blanks or a cv (30marks)
Note or postard (30marks)
Journal or letter. Formal or informal. (30marks)

then the listening is 100Marks (25%)
Oral 80Marks (20%)

Oh Sheesh Yall Twas A Dream

Honestly you don't even need to know any French to do the test. All you need to know is the ending and format to a formal letter. There is such a huge difference between honours and pass, Its an easy subject to get a pass in if that's all you need

Does that mean you could do the filling in the blanks and the postcard only. Or do you have to do a journal or letter too?

Anyone mind sending me some tips? Via PM if they don't mind. Especially tips for a post card/letter. I won't be doing the formal letter.

Hey mate, don't worry I understand:D

I do the two on A. One on B, One on C. As A is really quick to do and can go either way.

I've nothing but I'm pretty decent at the comprehensions and tape, crap at the writing bit but I'll learn some useful phrases in the morning I can just throw in anywhere. :pac:

After French tomorrow I've no exam till the 23rd wooo! Good luck anyways.
