I have now have my date for my interview
The only thing I am concerned about is that I have been awarded two points for speaking and understanding basic French, this is in fact true but I am after people with similar experience.
How are they likely to test me in French??
What sort of questions will be aimed at me??
I have no qualifications in French and they know this
If it is just general conversation in French, I should be okay
I hope I'm panicking over nothing
Anybody any advice

Congratulations!!
Are you currently pursuing French classes? have you submitted TEF results? Or have you just said you have knowledge of French, and have been awarded 3 points??
Which country have you applied from? All the best to you!!

You better prepare yourself for French. In my application I wrote that i want my interview to be in english but when she saw in my application that I claimed some points for French she started to conduct the whole interview in French. I did not complain and managed well and I think that was a decisive factor for my positive assessment. With new law they are not supposed to evaluate language but they could test you just to see if you are not lying.
Good luck!!!
