National Spanish Examinations.

Question

Below is a link to the website for the National Spanish Examinations. This was posted on another website by W1rWakka. I think it is a great resource that everyone should take advantage of. There are practice exams (taken from the actual exams in the past). Each exam takes 80 minutes and consists of 20 vocabulary questions, 20 grammar questions, 17 reading comprehension questions and 17 listening comprehension questions. There are six levels of exams that appear to me to indicate the number of years of Spanish courses you have taken. There is also three categories: Regular (non native speakers learning Spanish), Outside Experience (those who have had some immersion or other outside exposure to the language), and Bilingual (those raised as a child in a Spanish speaking household). The website will grade your test and give you a Raw score that is a simple mathematical percentage. For the years 2010 and 2011 tests they also provide a conversion table to convert Raw scores into the ranked percentile based on the actual tests taken by all test takers.

Once again credit goes to W1rWakka for finding and posting this link.

Good luck.

Here is a link to a page (www.dele.org) that has additional links to practice exams. There are five parts to the DELE exam for each level. Links are below the general link for level B2.

Also take a look at the USA's National Spanish Exams. You can take practice tests online and be graded online as well. Whereas the DELE exams are not available as graded practice.

Answer 2

If you want official certification in the Spanish language, look into taking DELE exams by the Instituto Cervantes. You can take them in Spain but there are also options in the United States.

Thanks. I have been on their website. What I like about the other two mentioned here is that you can take practice exams online. - gringojrf, Mar 5, 2012

Answer 4

Today I saw a request in a question for reading comprehension material so I thought I would kick this questin back to the top so others may see the reference. These are great tests that you can take online.

Good idea! - rac1, Dec 19, 2012
