GCSE Spanish Writing Exam 2024

Would anyone be able to explain the format of this year's gcse spanish writing exam please? I've heard that they are no longer giving us 3 options (from each unit)for each question. Any top tips would be useful- I am aiming for an 8 or 9.

I'm pretty sure it will be similar to the 2018-2019 papers and the sample paper. Here is the sample paper.

2 options for the first 90 word (required) 16 marker
2 options for the second 150 word (required) 32 marker
One English -> Spanish 12 mark translation

Each question will likely be a mix of themes so you could get a 32 marker which includes two random topics like both future careers and the environment.
