ermm... history (in detail) right barcode? :L
Thank you :P
I'm not sure what barcode the history exam was, let me look through the forum or something to see if a question I got came up and someone said what barcode it was and I'll always give detail lol
-edit: yep mine is right barcode!0 -

I'm starting my exams on Monday.
Does anyone know the
1. long questions for Geography Higher Level, Right barcode
2. Maths Higher Level Paper 1 and Paper2, also Right barcode.
I've only seen Left barcode for both Maths and Geography.
I'm sorry but I cannot help with anything since I haven't started my mocks yet and I doubt I'll be of any use by the time they do start since everyone else will be finished
Sorry!
Thanks in advance! 0 -

Does anyone know what the letters, notes or postcards were in French? Both barcodes.
For French HL:I can't remember what barcode it was!
What came up was easy for me but a lot of people found it hard!
The comprehensions included subjects such as sports (some famous handballer for Q9),
Glee (easy just know that it was "tres positive" reaction from French TV audiences :L plus at the end of a season sue's sister has died
is what we learn). Also know the word "mille" (thousand) as there is a motorway question and what "sud" means (south btw).
Make sure you don't write how many people go on the motorway during holidays, its every year.
Another comprehension was about what is the best thing about Christmas holidays (le meilleur).
The rest of that comprehension is easy.
There was one about schools and rules: verbal and physical aggression or something like that
and what the principal says all students should do. There was also a comparing between college and lycee
(French schools you probably know from book). Everything is in the passage; lots of homework, freedom, canteen, etc).
That's all I can think of. The written expression consisted of a note; make sure you know the layout fully through; how to say cycling
("faire du vélo"), you'll come back withbreakfast (I actually didn't know the word for breakfast so I compromised with "repas"
but I will probably only get attempt marks), Know times - 7 in the morning, how to say you woke up, went into town, etc.
There were two letter options: informal and formal. I did informal because "yours sincerely" is way too hard to learn lol.
Learn the layout for formal though if its what you want to do. The informal letter, however, was fine. Again, know your layout.
I didn't know what Easter holidays was (sadness) but said April holidays (pmsl). Tell Lucien (penpal) how you're getting on at school
(don't say mocks because it's April remember! Say something aboutstudying for a certain subject tonight and big exams coming up in Summer),
Invite Lucien on holidays during Easter holidays (male so say "Cher"), what you will do(cinema, cycling, parties, etc),
tell him about the new friends he will meet: I said stuff like a boyfriend and two other friends and mentioned them in what you will do (party).
I Also described he was good looking (beau - lol!) and how he's a football player (this is made up btw :L). And said they were great (formidable).
I asked him if he had a girlfriend (which I saw in one of the comprehensions about the titles - copine).
Tell him to write back soon. Try to include things like got to study, etc.End your letter with the usual "amitiés, name".0 -

that must of been left bar code cause none of that came up in mine unless you had a comprehention on Joe Jonas ?0 -
