I do Japanese! Continuers and Extension :) I'm pretty keen for the exams actually; speaking was pretty swell back in August and there's plenty of time between now and then to revise, ha ha.

i do japanese continuers, which i'm a little scared about!
Buddies! I'm sure you'll do wonderfully.

How do you reckon is the best way to study for language exams? Past papers?
I think it's a mix of doing past papers, writing various things (like practice responses in the language) and making sure you're confident with any vocab. I'm not sure about French but I'm pretty sure the exam layout would be the same as Japanese, and that's what's been working for me :) and don't neglect listening because it does make up a good portion of the exam. Past paper practice definitely a good place to be in.
Also, talk with people in the language. I know speaking's over as far as examinable stuff goes but it's a good way to consolidate your language skillz.
