I’m pretty strong on the writing (16/16 for the 90 word and 28/32 on the 150) but the translation really drags my grade down any tips

vocabulary: go to the aqa spec and scroll down to the wordlist skim read the wordlist and highlight any you dont know then revise those the day before the test so whatever comes up youll know how to write

grammar: go to spanishdict and conjugate a few verbs look through the entire conjugation tables and try to practise with other verbs and check the spanishdict table after

otherwise you should be fine just translate as accurately as possible. if you dont know a word (e.g. washing machine) just substitute around it like la máquina que lava los platos instead of la lavadora (which is the real word) dont just omit it

I can try remember what I put?
me gusta pasar tiempo con mi hermana porque me comprende. después del instituto, ayuda deberes. El sabado pasado, salimos juntos y lo pasemos bomba. el ano proximo, vas a trabajar como voluntario pero creo que tener sueldo es mejor.

I wasn't a huge fan of the 150 word options

Me gusta pasar tiempo con mi hermana porque me entiende. Después del colegio, me ayuda con los deberes. El sábado pasado, salimos juntos y lo pasamos bien. El año que viene, va a trabajar como voluntaria pero pienso que es mejor para tener un sueldo.
