Our language test results are out. Some passed, some were borderline and some have to take classes. Unfortunately I’m one of those who have to take classes. I qualified for Level 3 which is the last round of classes before we resit the exam.
On hindsight, I only started seriously preparing for my French 2 months ago, after I finally stopped work. I was learning new tenses up to a few days before the test, when ideally I should have had enough time to complete the syllabus and do a few practice papers. We can also say that the test was difficult because it was designed for those taking French as a second language. I feel disappointed but there’s no point moping. Like my mum said, a boxer only has 10 seconds to get back on his feet.
I have a few options. If there are enough of us (at least 6) we can form our own class in P1 and hopefully get it over and done with within the next 2 months. If not, we have to wait till P3 to start classes.
Alternatively I may just go back to the private school that was teaching me to cram for the exam, because I may have some credits left in my account. Also, the next DELF A2 test is on 2 Dec. I’m thinking that a DELF A2 cert would be more recognised than one from RELC, which nobody outside of this region would’ve heard of. I know it is also easier than the RELC test we took.
In any case, the unwelcome bit of news means that I will have to rush my readings, homework and revise my French for the next few months! Hopefully my French-speaking groupmates will help me out a bit, because there will be an oral component in future tests. Erk. Send words of encouragement my way, please…
