daviesk1224 — 2022-03-28 18:42:23 UTC

Have the 2019 paper in front of you (available on the WJEC website) and follow the guidance for either the foundation or higher tier. Remember that the translation into French has been taken out and unit 4 is the writing paper!

daviesk1224 — 2022-03-28 18:46:57 UTC
