Because school budgets are so tight these days, I thought it would be a good idea to create one single sheet for my students to write their answers to the 2018 specimen AQA GCSE French reading papers. That way I can re-use the actual test paper with all subsequent classes and cut down massively on photocopying. Also, needing more examples of specimen reading papers for the new spec AQA, I have started to write my own. The first one is now available and it covers entirely the topic ‘Les nouvelles technologies’.

Wanting more examples of specimen reading papers for the new AQA GCSE French spec, I decided to start writing my own. This first reading practice paper is based entirely on the subject of new technology and it comes with an answer template so that you can cut down massively on photocopying. I have also included an answer sheet. I set this paper as a test for my students after they had covered all the work in the 'Technology in everyday life' theme (see my bundle). This paper looks exactly like a real AQA Reading Paper and comprises 14 questions which are a mixture of Foundation and Higher Level. Please let me know what you think. I do plan to write more papers based on single topics as well as a mixture of topics like in the real exam.
