¡Necesario! Pre-CSEC Spanish Practice Paper II for the Caribbean (Student’s Book)

“¡Necesario! Pre-CSEC Spanish Practice Paper II for the Caribbean Grades 7-9: A Three-Year Workbook” is a workbook for the first three years of high school Spanish that mimics the structure and items given by the new CSEC Spanish examination (as of 2017). The workbook focuses on the reading and writing (Paper II) components of the CSEC examination. All items are original.

The examining body (CXC) consistently reports that students continually perform poorly on the paper II (reading and writing paper) compared to the other papers. It also recommends that students be exposed to these types of items as early as possible. It is with these concerns in mind that the author has decided to compose a workbook that seeks to expose students to the types of questions suitable to the structure of the examination paper itself. Students will therefore learn to interpret and manipulate the items from as early as Grade 7.
