IB Spanish Exam Bootcamp • $99

Three workshops. Three papers. One way to seriously make the most of Sunday evenings.

Your IB Spanish exams are coming. Instead of spending hours wondering "What exactly am I supposed to revise?", join us for three focused, interactive workshops designed to help you walk into your exams with a clear strategy and a lot less panic.

Over three Sunday evenings, we'll tackle Paper 1: Writing, Paper 2: Reading and Paper 2: Listening, giving you practical exam techniques that you can put into practice straight away.

3 × 45-minute workshops • Online • Ab Initio & SL • Expert-led

What's Included?

Workshop 1 — Paper 1: Writing

We'll cover:

  • How to decode the question and identify exactly what you're being asked to do

  • Choosing and using the appropriate text type conventions

  • Structuring your response effectively

  • Using vocabulary and grammar strategically

We'll cover:

  • Understanding exactly what each question is asking you to find

  • Strategies for locating key information quickly

  • Identifying main ideas, specific details and supporting information

  • Using context to work out unfamiliar vocabulary

  • Recognising synonyms, paraphrasing and implied meaning

  • Avoiding common reading mistakes that cost students marks

Workshop 3 — Paper 2: Listening

Learn how to stay calm, focused and strategic when the Spanish starts playing and there's no rewind button.

We'll cover:

  • Understanding exactly what each question is asking you to listen for

  • Identifying key information, opinions, attitudes and specific details

  • Using the questions to predict what you might hear

  • Recognising synonyms and paraphrasing

  • Dealing with unfamiliar vocabulary and fast speech

  • Staying focused if you miss a word or phrase

  • Avoiding common listening mistakes that cost students marks

What Will You Get From The Bootcamp?

By the end of the three workshops, you'll have:

• A strategy for each paper
Know what to do when you open the exam paper—not just what Spanish to revise.

• Practical exam techniques
Learn how to approach the different tasks strategically and use your existing Spanish knowledge more effectively.

• Targeted practice
Put the techniques into practice during each interactive workshop.

• A clearer revision plan
Know which skills you need to keep working on once the workshops are finished.

• More confidence
Because going into an exam knowing how to approach it is considerably better than hoping for the best.
