Watch loads of stuff on TV in Spanish and switch your phone into Spanish.

For spanish aqa, it's important to remember, you don't need to know everything in loads of detail. You do almost 2 years of work, most of which is for a 20-30 minute speaking exam. Have one good example of each thing but more importantly have a few good phrases of good Spanish that you can adapt to so many things. For example I had one sentence that I could use for festivals, languages, art, anything identity related which used in my speaking exam today

Thank you, this makes so much sense. Any chance you remember the phrase?

No worries, the sentence I used was
Sirve como un recordatorio de la herencia, puede fortalecer el sentido de identidad y recordale a la gente de dónde vienen.
That's just one example which I could use for quite a lot of topics which I found was a really useful way to prepare for the actual exam
