Državna Matura Spanish study plan

Diagnose current reading level by completing one full-length reading section under timed conditions (60 minutes) and tabulate errors by question type

Skim and scan five expository Spanish texts of 400-500 words each, marking the main idea of every paragraph in one sentence or fewer

Identify and record 40 high-frequency academic connectives and discourse markers (sin embargo, por consiguiente, a pesar de que, en cuanto a) with an original example sentence for each

Review the four Spanish past tenses (indefinido, imperfecto, perfecto, pluscuamperfecto) and produce a one-page contrast sheet with your own contrastive examples

Read three argumentative or opinion texts of 500 words and correctly distinguish stated fact from author opinion in at least 90% of items

Practise inference questions by writing, for each of ten items, the exact sentence in the text that justifies the answer

Consolidate the subjunctive present and imperfect forms and apply them in ten original sentences with expressions of doubt, emotion, and unreal conditions

Build a personal glossary of 60 lexical items drawn only from texts you actually read this week, with collocations rather than isolated words

Complete two timed listening sections (about 25 minutes each) and transcribe the five phrases you failed to decode

Train decoding of connected speech by shadowing three audio clips of 90 seconds, focusing on sinalefa, linking, and dropped intervocalic /d/

Distinguish ser and estar, por and para, and the personal a in 30 controlled gap-fill items with at least 85% accuracy

Recognise numbers, dates, prices, and proper names in fast speech by dictating ten short audio segments

Sit a full mock of the receptive parts (reading plus listening) in one block under official timing and score it strictly

Reduce average time per reading item to under 90 seconds without dropping accuracy below 75%

Review all grammar errors from the mock and close them by writing ten corrective sentences per error category

Practise note-taking during listening so that answers to detail questions are captured on the first hearing

Write four short messages (80-100 words) in different registers: formal email, informal message, complaint, and invitation

Compose one opinion essay of 180-220 words with a clear thesis, two developed arguments, and a conclusion, using at least six discourse markers correctly

Self-edit every text against a checklist covering agreement, tense consistency, accentuation, and register

Master the formulaic openings and closings of formal Spanish correspondence and apply them in two letters

Produce two timed essays of 200 words in 40 minutes each and cut your error rate by at least a third compared with week 5

Record four two-minute monologues on prepared topics, using a structured opening, two supporting points, and a closing formula

Prepare and deliver a three-minute presentation on a cultural or social topic with an outline of no more than eight keywords as your only support

Practise interaction by recording a five-minute dialogue with a partner or language exchange, using turn-taking phrases and follow-up questions

Sustain a ten-minute unscripted conversation covering at least four different topics without reverting to your first language

Reduce hesitation markers and fillers by re-recording one monologue and comparing the count against the first version

Respond to unseen listening prompts by summarising each in two sentences immediately after hearing it

Practise circumlocution: describe ten unknown words in Spanish without naming them, to build recovery strategies for the oral exam

Simulate the complete exam twice under full timing, including the written production and a recorded oral component

Review only your personal error log and glossary; introduce no new material

Rehearse the oral exam routine: two minutes of preparation, structured notes, and a rehearsed opening sentence

Confirm practical exam logistics: timing per section, answer transfer rules, and what is permitted in the room
