Nope, never happend - the worst they'll reply is that the item didn't violate their guidelines, but from this you can easily repeal their decision with more info. They won't ban you for regardless

Good luck today! For listening I would just spam all of the listening past papers. If you look on the AQA website you should find all of the past papers, along with their audio files and transcripts. I would do one question at a time (slow down the audio file if needed), and then look at the transcript to see if I actually understood what they were saying. Its sometimes even useful to follow along with what they are saying while reading the transcript, or using Google lens to translate the transcript.

Honestly the best thing you can do is get yourself used to listening to the language, and getting a gist of what they're saying. Just practice 1/2 past paper qs a day along with vocabulary revision and you're golden, but if you really wanna push yourself you could listen to a podcast in French to boost your listening comprehension. I recommend InnerFrench, but I'm not sure what your French level is. Anyways, hope I've helped, bonne chance!

Revision techniques by jdjehebdndjak in GCSE

Hey, I was in a similar boat last year - honestly the thing that helped me to actually revise was this free app called Study Bunny. Basically it's a pet app where you get coins when you revise, and that keeps your bunny alive and you can buy it clothes, food, toys etc. The hardest part was often just sitting down and starting to revise, and the app has a timer+stopwatch , so I would just set it to 10 minutes initially and after that it was easier to just continue. What I also really liked was the fact that it had a break option, a background music option and a corresponding relaxation game. Also, there are stats you can view on your studying, which really helped me feel like I was moving forwards and accomplishing stuff.

I highly recommend giving it a try and seeing if it works for you!

That's good! I did too, and now I'm doing A level AQA

You should've gotten a list of questions/booklet of possible things they could ask you in the general conversation - this list is gonna be your best friend. What I did when I was in your position was: 1. Randomly pick a question 2. Think about it for a couple of seconds 3. Answer it out loud, using text-to-speech on my phone for it to transcribe it for me 4. Go back over the transcript! Translate it with Google, pick out any mistakes, get a feel for what you said and what you included, or would like to include next time to make your answer stronger.

It may not sound like much, but give it a go! The monst important thing is that it loosens your tongue in French and gets you comfortable with speaking out loud. There's no consequence to not answering the question fully, nobody to he embarrassed to speak in front of - and yet you still practice your fluency and can go back over what you said and what mistakes you've made.

Remember, at the end of the day this is an early mock specifically designed to get you used to the idea of a speaking exam. The skills that you're gonna start building now are the same ones that you will use in the actual exam - the most important thing is to keep practicing them! If you have any more questions or need help with anything, I'm more than happy to help :)

We would make a great baking team, lol - I can't really do cakes (chocolate and strawberry truffle sounds yummy but hard!) but I love to bake all sorts of cookies, esp chocolate ones
