For those of you who are finding it hard to study, I believe that making a list of what exactly to study helps emensly. Here's a list I made out that I think could be helpful.

Comprehensions:

*Learn question phrases. (eg. Trouvez = Find, pourquoi = why, comment = how, où = where?)
*Carefully read each question and pick out words that you know.
*Bring a highlighter into the exam, so that you can find your answers in the text. This makes everything much simpler.

*Throughout the exam, use phrases such as:
- Je pense que - I think...
- à mon avis - In my opinion...
- Je devrais dire que - I would have to say that...
- Personnellement - Personally...

Section 2:

*If you decide to do the close text, think carefully about each word you're putting in. Don't put in words that wouldn't fit, even if you don't know them. (eg. If there is an... l'_____, you know that you're going to have to put in a word that begins with a voul. i.e argent.

*If you decide to do the alternative Q, re-cap over your oral notes. Usually the types of questions that come up here are relatively the same as what came up in the oral.

Personally, I would choose the first one. I feel it's simpler and doesn't require much study.

Message/postcard + diary/letter:

*Study verbs and tenses.
*Learn phrases that could possibly come up in a message, postcard, diary or letter.

Not being pedantic, but everyone should note that the word for 'where' is 'où', not 'óu', and the phrase 'in my opinion' is 'à mon avis', not 'á'. Also, 'personnellement', not 'personellement'.

Alright thanks. I'll fix that now. Blame google translator.

Use easy ways to get the impressive subjunctive in there too.
Il faut que j'aille - I have to go
At the end of a letter

That was grand Nice comprehensions, nice enough form and grand message/postcard.
I thought the cloze test was a little tricky but I haven't practised them in about two months.
Hope the aural is grand. It should be, I usually like them

It was a very easy test. The comperhensions were very easy, the close test was 100% and the note had nothing difficult at all. The written should of been good for anyone as it was easier than the last couple of years.

The aural was dead easy as well. There was only 2 questions in the whole aural that I'm not sure if I got right. I got the rest completely right.

Spent 5 and a half years doing honours which probably benefited me somewhat but I'd be surprised, in the written and listening, if I never got an A1 out of it,
Spoken will let me down a bit I'd say...

Yeah but still had to wait around for the tape. An incredibly easy exam overall. Did anyone take the full time to do it?

I finished at 10.45 I was the first to leave. No one else was done yet.

I thought that test was one of the easiest in years. The listening was simple. I could have probably done higher, but there's just so much of a difference.

Bloc Party!

Yeah, i left at 10 30. most people were gone by then...was a brilliant paper although some of the questions on the listining were dodgy enough

Shanee.

Yeah i finished around 10.15/10.30...was such an easy test

Sparkie93

that was the easiest test ever i left at 10 30 nearly all the people in my hall was doing higher and the examiner gave me a dirty look when i handed up my paper the listening really dragged on though

The pass paper was absolute piss. I finished all of it after 40 min including 2 extra questions. The answers for the comprehensions were basically put right before in the most basic way possible.
It was alot easier than all previous years I think.

I could not, for the life of me, hear what that astronaut bitch was saying for the last part about what girls should ask themselves.
On part 4 of the listening.
