Hey, good luck on the exam!  (I waited till 12th grade -- that's
_terminale_ or _première_ in the French _lycée_ right? -- to take
Chemistry.  I took Physics the year before, and I barely passed...)

Anyway, no rush.  I'm just issuing the challenge to try to develop a
language with as few phonemes as possible.  (Or course I could make up a
language using only /t/ and /e/, and transliterate Morse Code; SOS could
be _tetete teeteetee tetete_...)
