Spanish 5750 考试技巧

常见错误

1. 1high涉及分数: 2Listening and Reading

   Candidates answer a Section B question, which requires English, in Spanish, or a Section A question, which requires Spanish, in English.

   如何避免: Read the instruction line for each section before answering, every time, not just once at the start of the paper. There is no credit for a correct idea given in the wrong language.
2. 2high涉及分数: 6Unit 4 Writing

   The Unit 4 extended essay leaves out one or more of the five required bullet points, which caps the communication band regardless of the quality of the rest of the answer.

   如何避免: Before writing, list the five bullet points on your plan and tick each one off as you cover it. Treat them as five roughly equal blocks rather than writing at length on the first two.
3. 3medium涉及分数: 1Listening and Reading

   In multiple choice and matching questions, candidates select more options than the question asks for, triggering a mark deduction for each extra selection.

   如何避免: Count the number of options the question actually wants and select no more than that. If unsure between two answers, pick the one you are more confident about rather than selecting both.
4. 4high涉及分数: 1Unit 4 Translation

   Sentence translation into Spanish uses the wrong tense, confusing a single completed past action, the preterite, with a present or ongoing habitual action, the imperfect.

   如何避免: Ask whether the English sentence describes one finished event or a repeated or background situation. A finished single event takes the preterite; a habitual or ongoing one takes the imperfect.
5. 5medium涉及分数: 1Unit 2 Speaking

   In the Speaking role-play, candidates answer a question about future plans in the past tense, or vice versa, which caps that cue at one mark out of two even when the vocabulary is accurate.

   如何避免: Listen for the tense in the question itself and match it in your answer before you worry about extra detail or vocabulary.
6. 6low涉及分数: 1Unit 2 Speaking

   Preparation notes for the Speaking exam are written as full sentences that exceed the word limit allowed on the Candidate Preparation Sheet.

   如何避免: Practise writing single-word or short-phrase prompts for each bullet point rather than full sentences, so the habit is automatic under exam conditions.
7. 7medium涉及分数: 1Vocabulary

   Similar-looking vocabulary is confused under time pressure, for example desván (attic) with despacho (study), or lavavajillas (dishwasher) with lavadora (washing machine).

   如何避免: When revising topic vocabulary, group words that look or sound alike and test them against each other specifically, rather than only testing each word in isolation.
8. 8medium涉及分数: 4Unit 4 Writing

   The Unit 4 essay is written fluently but almost entirely in the present tense, which limits the Grammar and Structures band regardless of vocabulary range.

   如何避免: Plan for at least one bullet point in the past tense and one in the future tense before you start writing, so tense range is built in rather than an afterthought.
