## My notes

Practice regularly. Usually a B2 is a 7 for Spanish B, as seen in this [research paper](https://ibo.org/globalassets/new-structure/university-admission/pdfs/ecctis_ib-dp-cefr_executive-summary_august_2023.pdf).

{% hint style="info" %}
Immerse yourself in the language for sure. Doing well on the Paper 2 especially requires good knowledge of vocab and listening skills, so the more Spanish media you read and watch the better off you are. For the speaking assessment and Paper 1 just practice and make sure you know the rubrics really well. Write passages in Spanish and run them through a grammar checker to check for any mistakes you make and look at past papers to get the formatting down. Spanish to english, translate back to spanish, compare with original = gaps.
