How can I get a grade 7+ in GCSE Spanish?

For vocabulary flash cards work best, I used ones on StudySmarter and would happily send you some vocab sets if you’d like or you can find your own!
I did Duolingo every day throughout year 11 which really helped me to keep up with practicing the language
Either buddy up with a friend and make basically like a pen-pal system (can be over text or email) and exchange messages in Spanish and respond to each other with a reply plus some corrections or do the same thing basically but with ChatGPT
Regularly write answers to practice writing questions and get your teacher to mark them
Whilst revising for reading through vocab etc i liked listening to Spanish translations of songs i like in English, would recommend doing that if you can find some!
Make some flashcards or get a practice booklet for grammar and stuff like that
Do practice papers near exams and mark them (especially for writing) so you understand the markscheme and question types
Happy to answer any questions you have about the course, revision or exams in Spanish too, I didnt take the speaking part of the course but still am knowledgeable on it due to friends taking it

Yes! Please send me your studysmarter vocab sets 🫶!

Throughout year 10, I have been getting grade 5s on average on my reading, writing , speaking mocks , and for next year I am hoping to boost my grade to at least a 7 but I dont know how to revise for spanish.
If anyone has resources or tips they used for GCSE Spanish for the components:
Speaking , listening, reading, writing
Please share 🙏🙏

as said Duolingo is such a big help. I'm going into y11 too and I've done it since half way thru y8 and it really helps - I'm on 9s in all of my papers. you can skip forward to the harder sections too, I recommend Sections 3/4 for GCSE level. it's really good for the vocab but the grammar isn't always as clear.
podcasts are really useful too especially for listening which I find hardest. duolingo has one and there are also lots more that you can find on spotify, apple etc.
past papers are super good especially for listening and reading!
