Spanish

Assessment

As with all other subjects studied post-GCSE, progress will be assessed throughout the course. As the classes are small, there are lots of opportunities to practise your language skills, receive help and improve. There will also be mock examinations, the first of which will take place in the January of Lower Sixth. At the end of the two years you will take three examinations: Paper 1 will test Comprehension (listening, reading and translation), Paper 2 will test Writing (two essays – one on the film and the other on the novel) and Paper 3 is an oral test, consisting of a discussion of a research project and another topic.
