its not so bad......though i did screw up majorly in French ext. 3 hour exams are the good ones, you have heaps of time to plan and proof read, do not underestimate the value of a good once over, fixing your spelling and grammar will improve your mark, coz no matter how brilliant you are, if the markers cant read it you wont do that well, (having said that, i know i will have made at least 5 mistakes in this post alone)
on the other hand, i got so bored during the french continuers exam, its split up into 3 sections but even then, we had so much time i could write drafts. i did get a little hungry though, wish we could bring in a little food!!!
