How to prepare for spring week applications

Incoming classics student at UCL. I achieved A*BBB in my A-levels, my UCL place was confirmed last year. However, I’m now on a gap year and I have retaken my A levels, so hopefully my grades improve. Regardless, I’d like to start preparing for spring week applications over the summer. I don’t have any finance work experience, what sort of activities should I do? Thank you.
