Yes, it was pretty thorough as I remember, with composition, comprehension, a multiple choice test mainly about how the verbs mutate in different tenses, an oral exam with reading an unfamiliar passage aloud as well as answering free-form unrehearsed questions about daily life, hobbies and interests. That was for the old Cambridge board. Rumour had it that the AEB was easier.

Wifey not displeased at the response from the specialist she saw today. :)
I got some time in the workshop. :)
Cut the middle out of my rear axle on the trike. I cannot tell if the frame stresses have "pinged" the 2 halves out of alignment yet.

The difference between your immaculate carpet and the workbench is striking. But at least you can see bits of the bench, I can't see any of mine hardly!

Yes we did but only as a classroom activity. It wasn't part of the final assessment in 1978. I actually preferred German, but the way they structured the options in my school, it clashed with metalwork and technical drawing which was what I really wanted to do.
 
Come on 'ere to cheer myself up.
W managed to fall in the hen run today at about 11 a.m. no big deal she thought so she got on with cleaning out the hen shed. Then she came in and I helped her remove her wellibob things.
Her left ankle, the one on her paralysed foot, was swollen up to buggrey.
So I told her, "It's off to orspicle for you, lass!"
Set off at about 12.30, arrived back home at about 7 p.m.
She has fractured an ankle bone so will be off that foot for 6 weeks.
Well whoopee do, that is only about just less than a quarter of our time over here. 😢 😢 😢
So guess who is going to be doing non-stop gardening and other stuff? :rolleyes:
Luckily our doorways are just big enough to accomodate her fold-up wheelchair that we normally only use on ferries.
But she is in pain poor lass, and well fffed off about the whole situation.
She only ever seems to hurt herself over here. and it is always by falling over something..😢
Still all this heaving of her around as well as the extra work can only do my waistline good!
Sleep well folks!:):):)

That must vary from exam board to exam board as I had to do the dictation exam with my groups right up until the start of GCSE in 1984 odd.

Yes, that's often the way with breaks. You don't realise it at first and it's only later that the pain becomes unbearable that you start thinking that maybe it's a good idea to go to hospital. Hope it doesn't incapacitate her for too long.

Yes in my day the exam boards varied a lot in terms of the assessments. Of the various boards in operation at the time, the Associated Examining Board was a lot more like assessment nowadays, where you break the task down into subcomponents which the pupils would find it hard to get wrong, and provide lots of guidance material. That's why people called it the Associated
Easy Board. I think the AEB had dictation as part of its modern language exams because other kids I met at the FE/Tech college I attended from '78 to '80 had done this.
