In this article, I’m going to break down the main tips for achieving a Grade 9 in GCSE Spanish. Reaching this top grade isn’t about natural ability – it’s about having the right strategy. Whether you’re aiming for a Grade 9 or just looking to pass, you’re in the right place.

I’ll share top tips, recommended resources, and effective revision habits to help you succeed.

Your vocabulary bank is the foundation for success in both the verbal and written components.

HOT TIP: Change your phone language to Spanish and watch Spanish YouTube videos to absorb vocabulary in context—a key skill for achieving a Grade 9.

Without grammar, vocabulary has no structure.

Marks are often lost not because of poor Spanish—but due to poor exam technique. Here are some essential tips:

• Answer Everything: Never leave a question blank. Even a guess gives you a chance of earning marks.

• Highlight Key Phrases: Underline time markers, negatives, and descriptive words to help guide your answers.

HOT TIP: Think of languages as a marathon, not a sprint. The best students revise little but often and find ways to enjoy the subject—whether through music, sports, or film—using their interests to drive their Spanish learning.
