@ells.music13 I’ll update how everything went tomorrow when I’ve completed it Update: it didn’t go too bad I’d say… I chose theme 4 and got my worst questioned asked to me, ones I couldn’t really talk much about or as in detail as the other questions. My surprise theme was 3 and my teacher knew I hated that theme and told me she had the option, that make me really annoyed at her lol. That was okay I guess. I couldn’t say much about school trip question as my school doesn’t do trips. My photo card was so so hard, I had people sitting in front of a cafe, not going into any more detail but it was hard to talk about. Then the role play…. It was decent (I hope). I answered everything this time but forgot to give opinions until the opinion question so that’s great. It was about social media, like huh? If anybody is doing their speaking gcse or mock don’t be like me. Stay calm and (this is a trigger warning) make sure to bring a bottle of water if u have anxiety like me because I threw up right in front of my teacher. I stayed the whole day at school because I had my art gcse the same day. Just stay calm and take your time to fully under what’s going on around you. It’s not the end of the world I promise
i have my exam tomorrow, only ever gotten ungraded on a french speaking exam, praying i can perform some kind of miracle tomorrow (i’m doing higher tier)
did my speaking about a week ago and everything went great until i forgot how to ask questions in the general conversation 💀my teacher said it should only drop 1 mark from that though 😭my teacher started raging and was like how did you forget how to form questions 😂
I’ve got my Spanish one on Monday - I’m feeling relatively confident, but I just hope I don’t get screwed with my photo card or my role play. I’ve had 8s in both the mocks so hoping to maintain that or even go up to a 9!
@@pinpinbowling4087 thats not how it works smh. The grade boundaries are already set. However if the year collectively does extremely bad and there are extremely few 9s they might make it slightly easier. But it will be extremely similar to last year grade boundaries
@@Ali_R7 What on Earth are you yapping about? The boundaries are set only after exams, so for example they'll take the mark of the top two percent of students and make that the 9.
You have a channel for french as well lets gooo. Can you do a video similar to the one you did on your Spanish channel on good phrases like without a shadow of doubt
amazing video and very clear, however i felt like it was fast paced and too complicated and you should take in account those who dont do very well french other why else would they watch your video and also kindly explain everything as you i felt like u just assumed people knew what u were talking about in a perfect accent and stuff anyway brilliant video keep it up!!
How did u revise for french? Im in yr 10 rn and i'm failing so I dont even know whether i really have time left to even improve as i only have a year but id really appreciate any advice on how to revise 😭 thank uu ❤
hey! sorry to hear that, over summer & next year I'll get loads of french content up on this channel to help you, but I'm busy with a-levels right now! for now, focus on vocab using anki: ankiweb.net/shared/by-author/1439147009
@@AStarFrench want to thank you for your short but concise video. Answered all our questions ver.y clearly. Exam done. Any tips on reading and listening paper?Keep it up!
@@AStarFrench last time I winged it for the mocks I got a 6 but I didn’t really revise that much so I’m hoping I can get a 7 atleast now with revision, but memorising large lengths is hard for me especially now as I have a week left
brilliant video, my exams next week and im tryna guarantee that nine
Good luck!!

how do you memorise general conversation in one day…?
my situation exactly rn
good luck hahaha
i’m writing today, but i’m not allowed any pens in the exam room we aren’t allowed to write at all
how can we memorise all of general convo in just a few days
you dont.
its possible
try your best haha!
Blurring and repeating it try learn the english translation so it's easier to learn, also get ur friends to test you
My Spanish speaking GCSE is in two days and I have memorised barely any of it, I’m cooked possibly
love for lowering boundaries

@@AStarFrench Okay thank u ❤
@@AStarFrench Do you have any advice on how to work on speaking in french?
@@AStarFrench Omg also thank u for the flashcards im just looking over at them and theyre so good
Are the conversations 5-7min each? Or in total/
In total!
@@AStarFrench want to thank you for your short but concise video. Answered all our questions ver.y clearly. Exam done. Any tips on reading and listening paper?Keep it up!
are the themes just 10 questions each?? cause our teacher sent us links to each theme and theres only 10 questions on them
Depends really, up to your school/teacher. 10 is roughly the number students get per theme
pray 4 me
i had my exam like a week ago now and when i was explaining what i could see in the photo the teacher was stopping me to move on to the question
Maybe because you spoke for too long and she wanted to make sure she could ask the other 4 qs!
@@AStarFrenchyo? will i lose marks
no you're fine!
You guys get to pick a theme? 😭
For both AQA & Edexcel you do - what exam board are you doing?
@@AStarFrench wjec
thanx but who tf does a level french
haha people do!!
how did u memorise the general convo?
Little and often memorise some sentences everyday!
@@AStarFrenchdo you have to memorise a general convo or can you just learn lots of vocabulary and just wing it?
You can wing it - wouldn't recommend it though!
@@AStarFrench last time I winged it for the mocks I got a 6 but I didn’t really revise that much so I’m hoping I can get a 7 atleast now with revision, but memorising large lengths is hard for me especially now as I have a week left
Does this apply to edexcel?
Yep!
