I took GCSE 9-1 Mandarin and this is my mock paper (the specimen paper). This is my marked paper that has comments and corrections included from my teacher. I answered 1.1 and 2.1.
All of my best resources in one place for GCSE 9-1 Chinese including higher level vocab and phrases for speaking, writing prompts and marked grade 7/8/9 essays so you can compare the often slight difference between these grades.
