Yeah I always hate the roleplays. I had mine on Thursday and it actually went well - even the roleplays and I got a big thumbs-up at the end. Of course I still had butterflies in my stomach right up to the end and me and my friend spent all of the waiting time discussing why we had signed up for A-Level FrenchQuote:

In all 23 exams. And that isn't including the 2 science modules i have also!
And i am the same i am going to fail the french role play, in my mock i couldn' teven say one thing in it.
So that's 23 exams, but how many GCSE's do you actually get at the end of it all?
I presume that the English is 2 (English and English Lit.) and maybe the Science is 2 (I think I remember being told that we get 2 Science GCSE's at the end of year 11), but are the French, Maths, and History only 1, or are they more?
I mean, I didn't think it was even possible to get more than one GCSE for those subjects (especially since Maths is calculator and non-calculator - who ever sees someone who has a 'Maths: calculator' GCSE? - and also because I highly doubt you get separate GCSE's for listening, speaking etc. in French), but I don't exactly know about these things. We never get told anything at our school! :rolleyes:
I got two GCSE's in maths - one for maths and one for statistics. Stats was easy, it was basically just the stats (graphs, data, surveys etc) work from the maths GCSE but in a bit more depth.
Like you said, two for science (if you're doing double award) and two for english. One for every other subject unless you do a GNVQ/NVG/BTEC or any other vocational subject, which are worth about 4 GCSEs.
It is possible to get three GCSEs in science if you're doing triple award. You can also do single award and get one GCSE.
11 GCSEs in all (Science and English are 2 each, and R.E and Citizenship are 1/2 each therefore together making a whole one.)Quote:

Okay so My french speaking exam was today and Im so glad its over, I hated the exam but it was OK
I am bet your glad it's out of the way now! My french speaking exam is one of the exams that i'm most dreading. I've learnt 4 topics roughly, and i've got to write the last one out and learn it in 2 weeks. How do you think you did Abbie?Quote:

I'm doing Higher, but i am quite nervous. I'm sure you've done great though Abbie, C or above is all you need..just keep telling your mum that. :)
I know its just annoying when she expects high of me
