revising for German GCSE

I have been revising for GCSE mock exams and it is coming up to my German one. I have briefly revised vocab but does anyone have any suggestions on how to effectively revise German quickly???

thank you :-)

i take french and my most useful revision is literally doing reading/ writing practices on the theme and write what I want and find any extra vocab necessary. quizlet is useful for memorising and for speaking I get my friends and family to help and speak french to myself. listening just takes lots of practice!

hi,
I have also got mocks soon and take german so hopefully I can give some good advice :smile:

I recommend firstly to make a list of any vocabulary you have struggled to learn or just find really difficult- prioritise these especially if they're 'higher 'level vocab
-make sure you know modal verbs inside out
-learn some conjunctions such as weil or obwohl but make sure you vary them up to get more marks
-find some German listening practice e.g. watch your favourite tv show with German audio but English subs- loads of people get stuck on how to practice listening
-learn as much as you can in the time you have, if your mock is in like 3 days learn grammar and vocab you get stuck with but if you have much longer, learn in more detail and nail the difficult stuff to pick up marks
-try not to be overwhelmed by all the content (I get v. stressed during exams as I feel like i haven't learned enough) remember that you do have months to learn everything and thats plenty of time to improve German.

I apologise if this isn't much use but I heard this from some people who had taken the GCSE and I felt it really helped in some areas in my year 10 mock. Good Luck!
