Tips and advice for German gcse

Hi, German is my close 2nd language and I have been learning it since I was little but I wanted to share some tips. I did my German gcse (aqa) last year (2023) and achieved a 9 so I wanted to give some advice and help to people currently doing it this year.
1. First make sure you learn aqas vocabulary sheet very well
2. Do a lot of writing practice and translation
3. Ask your teacher to give you extensive feedback for your writing tasks
4. Spam those past papers
5. Any vocabulary u don’t understand underline it research about it
6.read more German texts
7.make sure your grammar is solid
I will add some more tips I can think of later .
GOOD LUCK I KNOW U CAN DO IT 👏👏
