Use the revision guides alongside the revision program that your teacher has put together.  

Attend the revision sessions 

Make use of GCSE Pod and Seneca Learning to support your revision. GCSE BBC Bitesize is a very good resource. It covers all of the AQA topics for the exam. This resource also has listening practice resources and material to help you revise along with quizzes and tests. 

To move your current grade of a 3 to an actual grade 4 

• Make sure you revise key vocabulary, tenses and opinions. You should be able to recognise these for the listening and reading papers and use them yourself in the speaking and writing papers.  
• In the writing and speaking exams you need to be able to recognise which tense the question is being asked in, so that you can respond appropriately. 
• When preparing for the speaking exam, ensure that you have properly revised your chosen theme for the general conversation. You must also ask your teacher a question. Make sure that you know what you are asking and that your pronunciation is correct. 

To move your current grade of a 4 to an actual grade 5 

• As above – the wider your vocabulary the more complex speaking and writing you will be able to do. 

To achieve the highest grades 

• Speaking – practise speaking French by attending revision sessions. In the speaking test always include opinions about things that you are asked about and include tenses. ?You will also be asked questions on a second module, so make sure that you are familiar with all module questions and answers. This knowledge will also stand them you in good stead for answering in questions in the writing, listening and reading exams. 
• Listening – listen to GCSE podcasts on YouTube. This will help you to recognise phrases, pick up on new words and the rhythm of the language. 
• Reading – use the revision guide and the practice questions. Check your work with the answers in the back of the revision guide. 
• Writing – practise answering the different types of question that you will be posed. Offer your own thoughts and opinions in answers where appropriate.
