If you can, I'd really recommend reading and watching/listening to something in Spanish – Peppa Pig (on YouTube) was one of my favourites :smile:

Other things like setting your phone to Spanish, reading a children's book in Spanish…
– have a look in the library: something really simple is great, or maybe something (short) that you've already read in English – I think I read James and the Giant Peach in French before my GCSEs; depends on your ability and confidence though!
You probably won't understand all the words, that's ok – just try and get the general gist of things, and maybe get the dictionary out (https://www.wordreference.com is pretty good for single words) for a few words if you fancy it :smile:

Plus wordreference.com has a really good verb conjugation page https://www.wordreference.com/conj/esverbs.aspx

Essentially just try and get your head "in the Spanish zone", get used to hearing and seeing things in Spanish. Particularly helpful for the reading and listening aspects of your exams! Same goes for any language, at any level – try and immerse yourself in it.

Good luck, and remember it's only a mock :smile:
