From the AQA GCSE Spanish (8692) specification. Each paper is 25% of the GCSE, sat at the same tier: Foundation (grades 1 to 5) or Higher (grades 4 to 9).
This course covers reading (Paper 3), writing (Paper 4), grammar and vocabulary, with practice prompts for speaking. Listening (Paper 1) and the dictation need audio, so they are not included, and speaking is not recorded or marked.
