AQA GCSE French
The GCSE French Reading, Listening and Speaking exams will go ahead as per normal, with ALL topics tested.
 
The only change is to the Writing exam, as follows:
There will be an additional question for students to choose from, and the exam will be 5 minutes longer to give students time to read this extra option. Having an extra option, means that students have more control over what they write about.
 
Foundation tier:
1 hour 5 minutes.
Question 4 will have an additional option.
​
Higher tier:
1 hour 20 minutes.
Questions 1 and 2 will have an additional option.
