D E L E Exam Requirements for B2 level

Hi, I have been testing myself with the B2 level of the DELE spanish examinations. I am unable to find what are the requirements for the writing and speaking section. Also, are there books that will specifically guide you for these exams? Please let me know, thanks,

What does dele stand for? - RiCrow, Jul 25, 2012

OK, I found my own answer. Dele stands for Diplomas de Español como Lengua Extranjera (Diplomas of Spanish as a foreign Language) - RiCrow, Jul 26, 2012

Answer 1

You'll definitely need to be near fluent. You should be able to speak without hesitation and few errors. Writing should be clear and error free. The C2 level is much harder, my teachers in Spain said you have to write and speak a lot, and very very well. basically, many natives have trouble passing the C1/C2 level. But with preparation and an advanced Spanish level, you should be able to pass B2

Thanks for the guidance. I hope to be ready for the B2 next year, and forewarned is forearmed. - Enderby, Jul 31, 2012
