## My notes

I suck at Spanish! The grade boundaries in Spanish are crazy high. Write in English, translate to Spanish, review to remove any grammatical errors while keeping in mind the rubric. 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.
