Luckily for me the sun shone through the sheets and I could see the last few in the pile.I picked the last one about the Diospoireacht.Think I did fairly well in it.I dont think the examiner shuffled ours so they were pretty much in 1-20 order so you could chance it.

Haha that happened for a lad in my school too :P So lucky!!!!

Yeah same, although for one night before my French oral I did actually study.
Has to be on the night:p

I know a guy who last year just wore a fake cast into the oral so he could lie and talk about his injury for a good while:p

My teacher was askig could I change the date for taking the cast off coz my oral isn't until Thursday! Throwing on a bandage and hoping for the best

This might be a stupid idea, but i'm considering leaving out Sraith 13 + 20 because.. they're stupid :pac: I know you won't get to pick which Sraith you do, but damn in a 90% chance sounds pretty good to me! :P

Does anyone else find the French listening hard? I never seem to understand a word they say the majority of the time as they speak fast, I end up guessing.
How do you study for the listening?

How do you guys study for the Comprehensions in French? I did really bad in them in my Mocks, they dragged my Grade down from a B2 to a C3 (77-59%) which I can't let happen in June! Does anyone have any tips on how to improve my Comprehension scores?

I don't really study for them at all but they do tend to bring me down. I would say keep learning lots of vocabulary, and just practice comprehension questions. Maybe take out the words you see all the time and learn them, some are fairly repetitive.

And yes, as Patchy said, always read the last question first.

Read the English q first to get an idea of what its about, and if you cant work out a verb (sometimes I find you can if its similar to another one/a noun) then try to slot one in that fits the context so the story still flows.

My economic mock is moved again because of the irish orals, it might be Thursday or Friday now . Hope it goes well if I stick to mainly the macro section.

Would love an A in June so fingers crossed all goes well tomorrow! I'd settle for an A2 like, it's just an A1 would be nice is all. :P

Honestly not many abstract topics, but if you bring them up yourself it'll sound much better.

Aw cool. I didn't get asked those myself last year. I guess I'll try not to mention anything which could lead to a abstract topic. I'm only doing pass so I'm not too bothered that much about the high grade but still don't want the exam to go awful .

I hope I get a woman for the French oral next week. I'm not too used to hearing the guys speak in French accents even in the listening.
Could you imagine I had my last years examiner that would be weird .

Never have to speak French again, and honestly, I'm disappointed. I never thought I would count French but I did a day of study and now I'm just annoyed that I didn't do more.

would bringing my phone in my pocket to record my oral be a no no? or be weird? my teacher made a joke today and that he could see how we done? :L

We were told that we're not allowed to bring our phones in, and if we were caught with our phones in the oral we'd have our oral cancelled

Our examiners said not to bring our phones in case it interferes with the tape, so I wouldn't bother
