JC Spanish 2011

Alright it's the next exam for me and second last for me. What sections are people looking forward to and what are we dreading? Personally I typically do very well on the listening, my written is not a let down (around 68/80 typically so when going for an A it's a non-factor) but my reading comprehensions let me down. Also, for those who chose to do it over something else, anyone regretting that choice? I really wish I chose business instead (Would've been a certain A unlike Spanish but I moved to Spanish because I was conned into think it'd help me get a job I want and there was a 3 to 1 ratio of business to Spanish students in my year).

I love the reading part, but it seems to be my weakness
Hate the letter - Seem to do well in it, got 37/40 in the mocks
Loveee the numbers, sooo easy
The sentences, but there can be some tricky ones
I had the first section, not the tick the boxes, the other part, where they give you a word and ask you about its uses and stuff they always seem to pick really obscure things for that lol it always messes me up, thank god its only worth 10 ^^
The listenings are ok, for some reason i do alottt better in the descriptive passages compared to the discussions, managed to get full marks in the d.p yet only half marks in the discussions in the mocks, you would think it would be the other way round lol XD

but overall im looking forward to spanish, its a nice exam, not too much writing involved and its a nice language

In relation to the subject choices, for me it was a choice of tech graph or spanish, so for me spanish was the obvious choice XD

am I the only one who thinks its odd that O.L gets two pages for the letter, yet H.L gets only one, even though we have to write more points?

On the sentences, if it says "tell you friend he's decomissioned" are you actually meant to say "Mi amigo, usted esta fuera de servico" ?


Ps, Spanish should be good

Yeah that part of the reading is ridiculous, but sometimes they ask you about what room you would find something in and you can pick a room, and it's worth 5 marks. Often I know what it means in English but the question is so poorly phrased I have no idea what to say.
