GCSE French is examined across all four skills — listening, speaking, reading and writing — around themes that each board sets out in its own way — AQA's specification, for example, groups them as People and lifestyle, Popular culture, and Communication and the world around us. Since the reformed specifications were first taught in 2024, every board also works from a defined vocabulary list and sets a dictation in the listening paper, a read-aloud task in the speaking test and translation in both directions. Two things decide the grade. The first is grammar you can produce under pressure: the right tense, the right auxiliary, agreement that actually agrees. The second is vocabulary breadth, since the reading and listening papers are built from words you either know or do not. Practice here works on both, with questions written in English about French so that what is being tested is the language rather than your ability to guess from context.
