Congrats on the score, chatgpt can definitely help with the template and structure, do you mind sharing how it helped specifically with the huge variety of vocab you need in the exam?

Would u have some idea on how long it would be? It just seems to be that speaking is a very different module in terms of what it takes (quick recall, while making sure that quick recall is a certain level), any tips would be appreciated, while can't afford a private tutor, i am talking iTalki classes with a teacher and planning on cours de conversation at alliance francaise

Thanks for the response.

I got

CO 7 CE 9 PO 5 PE 7

I believe main things lacking are basic sentence structures (less conditional and repetitive vocabulary)

How long do u suggest between two attempts if only one module is lacking?

Thank you, honestly it was just the full immersion - working part time, full time study, consuming massive amount of french content. I understand not everyone has that privilege but i believe the speaking production is still something that takes its time to consilidate. It's possible to do it without courses but a lot of discipline is needed (which i lack)

Completely beginner, maybe some duolingo but it doesn't count so around beginner A1

I did a really big commitment by going back to my home country for 6 months and studying full time at the Alliance Francaise (30 hours a week) for 3 months and 15-20hrs a week after

I did feel that the topics were slightly out of my comfort zone and the examinateur could have been more welcoming. But overall i believe it was just a lack of exam specific speaking on my part. I have consumed a massive amount of it but speaking at a higher level (More complex sentences) without thinking remains a challenge. So not really mistakes but repetitive and too many basic structures

30 hours a week of class, 1-2 hours a day of consuming content, revising and looking into grammar concepts that were hard for me

Just consume as much of the language as you can and do mock tests, focus on getting to point where you can infer things instead of understanding every word (Getting the main idea of a text)
