What are people saying about Oxford Revise?
“I’ve tried other revision guides which have been absolutely crammed full of information with fewer pages but more content on each page. In this one however there’s a good balance between presentation and amount of information with each page structured nicely and colourfully.”

“This is a great quality revision book for GCSE Spanish.
The content is well written and easy to understand as well as being aligned to the curriculum. I like that it uses colour to break up different sections etc into bitesize chunks.
I would happily recommend this for anybody studying Spanish.”

How does Oxford Revise support your Spanish GCSE revision?
We have a wealth of experience in supporting Foundation and Higher students for AQA Spanish GCSE exams. Immerse yourself in the three themes, smooth out your Spanish grammar rules and then put it all to the test with plenty of exam practice. Within each area of the guide you will find:
- Knowledge organisers: Get your revision off to a solid start with the Basics section. These contain all of the most important content across topics. Spanish and English translations sit side-by-side, and there are walk-throughs of each exam paper with suggested timings, so that you know exactly what’s going to happen on the day.
- Retrieval practice: Simply cover up the answers to these quick-recall questions, write your answers or say them out loud and then check if you’re right. Repeated practice of these move knowledge from your short to your long-term memory. They can be used to create flashcards, or ask a friend or family member to test you.
- Practice questions: One of the ways you can reduce some of the stress around exams, is to complete plenty of exam-style questions. There are expert tips throughout which give you suggestions for how to approach each type of question.
