A Level Spanish Speaking Exam

Hi guys!
I’m in year 13 and doing Spanish. I’m currently learning my IRP really well so I’m not worried about that, but the photo card section of the speaking exam is terrifying me.
I’ve never actually had to just have a full conversation in Spanish with no help. For my gcse we had sufficient time before the exam to write a full “script” of our answer, and in my mocks the teacher gave me the card a week before so I could write a “script” for that as well.
But I know in my actual exam the preparation time is only 5 minutes, and we need to speak for 5-6 minutes so I won’t have time to write out word-for-word what I’m going to say.
I’ve practiced a bit with teachers but every time they ask me a question I basically forget every bit of Spanish i know and start like stuttering and have nothing coherent to say. I’m worried I’m just so bad at Spanish I won’t ever be able to speak on my own.
My exam board is AQA.
Does anyone know anything I can do to help this, seeing as practice doesn’t work and is terrifying tbh??? I’d appreciate anything, even hearing if anyone else has been in the same situation or if it’s just me and I’m dumb.

Sorry to hear this, I can understand why it's so stressful. You are by no means bad at Spanish and this ming going blank is not a true reflection of your abilities. I think this needs to be the first clarification.
I would actually join a language app, where you are forced to have more conversations in Spanish. Is there an option of hiring a tutor, just for the speaking part? I think the key here is to speak as much as possible, so that speaking (even if it's not all grammatically correct) is no longer so scary.
Separately, I think where your fear stems from is the loss of control and your ability to prepare. It's hard to make peace with the fact that you might fluff it up. Even being the best Spanish speaker in the class, there's the possibility that on the day, they may underperform. It's always hard to predict how people perform under pressure. I think if you can imagine the worse case scenario being that you don't say a word and be ok with that idea, or at least accept the idea, you can work your way up. Give yourself the space to be completely blank. Maybe you can have a chat with your teacher, so that outside of class, you can have 15mins with them to practise on a weekly basis? 🙂
