Abstract
The article summarizes my own experience of conducting reviews for exams in French language courses. Through more than ten years of teaching French language and linguistics, I have developed pre-exam review sessions based on game models to help my students repeat term lessons in an engaging and memorable atmosphere. The article is intended as a practical guide for creating and organising such a review game. It is constituted of seven parts with subtitles, which should make it easy to navigate. After a short introduction describing challenges encountered in end-of-year reviews, the reader will find a general description of the game in part 2 and examples of one complete round of it in part 4, while the interceding part 3 will provide practical tips on support materials, which themselves make up part 5. These supports deal with ways of formulating questions and displaying answers using animations in PowerPoint presentations. The final section, part 6, will offer advice on using a course website and classroom aids to increase student attendance and encourage more effective classroom participation. The brief conclusion enumerates the beneficial effects of the game, underlines the value of a well-prepared PowerPoint presentation, and gives examples of students’ positive feedback on this format of material review.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
