A-Level Spanish Revision Help

Hi, I've just started Y13 and achieved an A in my Y12 Spanish exams - but thats purely from paper 1 and paper 2 carrying me. When it comes to paper 3, I literally have no cultural knowledge so don't get AO4 marks. I have looked everywhere online for clear, concise revision notes for a level spanish, but cannot find anything except astar spanish mindmaps. But I was wondering how others have approached writing/learning cultural information notes to use in their speaking? I find the textbooks useless (I have both)

I’ve just finished my Alevels and got an A in Spanish. I assume it’s AQA that you’re studying ? For paper 3 literally all you need to be able to do is string a load of facts together and give opinions about them. There are loads of flash card sets on Quizlet with lots of facts in them, or you can use any fact in the AQA Textbooks for paper 3. To practice speaking I just printed off as many photocards as I possibly could and prepared answers for every single one, or I used the blurt method and wrote out as many facts as I could remember.

Thanks so much, this is great. Did you make "notes" persay of these facts, or literally just remember them and apply them to photocards
