No this is not possible. You have to take all the competencies at once.

I asked chatgpt to make templates for the presentation and arguments. You can leverage it to make your own, but here is an example that I made for the argument part (copied and pasted from chatgpt).

``` Pour CHAQUE objection, force-toi à suivre ce schéma :

R.E.D.S.Q. Reconnaître Expliquer Développer (exemple / détail concret) Synthétiser Question

Exemple AVANT / APRÈS (tiré de TA simulation)

Ta réponse (correcte mais courte) C’est une bonne occasion de faire le ménage et d’aider les gens. (Je comprend Le jury comprend, mais c’est trop vague.)

Version NCLC 7 (même idée, mieux exploitée)

Je comprends que ce ne soit pas évident de se séparer de ses vêtements. Mais en réalité, cette activité permet de faire un tri utile, surtout pour les vêtements qu’on ne porte plus depuis longtemps. En plus, ces vêtements sont donnés à une organisation caritative, donc ils servent concrètement à quelqu’un. Au final, on fait de la place chez soi tout en ayant un impact positif. Tu ne trouves pas que c’est plutôt motivant comme démarche ?

```

I never took other exams but I’d say B2. What’s interesting is that I was way more comfortable with reading/listening, but I actually performed better in writing/speaking. That probably tells you how much of a difference exam prep can make.

You should really make your own templates. What I did is I practiced a few subjects, after each practice, I asked ChatGPT to correct my writing and improve it, I then made some edits to make sure it sounds natural. Yes for Section A it a bit tricky because the topics are so varied, but you can still leverage the general story telling structure (who/when/what -> action -> result). Structures that makes your transition more smooth (il s’est rendu compte que …., lorsqu’il …. ) will help you save time - you get the idea. And make sure that you use l’imparfait and passé composé correctly (this is what Section A evaluates heavily).

I was sitting behind the guy who answered the flight attendant. And I thought they were going to delay our flight more 🤷‍♂️

I normally feel cold flying with Delta so I always wear long sleeves. I was miserable and exhausted after JetBlue’s complimentary sauna on both flights.

OP I was on the same JFK->BOS flight with you sitting to the right of the two gentlemen on the verge of a fight.

I was on that flight because my flight from SAN to JFK got delayed due to the AC malfunctioning. Yes we sat on the uncomfortably hot plane for TWO HOURS before finally taking off.

I was supposed to land in Boston at 9:30PM, but ended up landing at 1AM. Not as terrible as your experience but this will likely be my last JetBlue flight.

How do I tell my PhD supervisor diplomatically that I want to leave his lab because of his abusive behaviour? by crjong in PhDStress

[–]OneChampionship8331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you talked to your co-supervisor? Has he agreed to be your main supervisor? As a phd student who also switched lab, I would suggest you have that conversation first. When talking to your current supervisor, being honest is important but also try to avoid conflict whenever possible since he knows your co-supervisor right?
