I like to do a translation in timed exam conditions, mark it, make flashcards on unknown vocab as well as grammar things that catch me out! (if I don’t understand I’ll ask my teacher) I put these flashcards in a separate deck and make sure I go these everyday. Then retry the same translation (without looking at prev answers) and mark again. Good luck, I’m in yr13 asw and it’s hard but we’ll get there!!
