What a question looks like
Most are one sentence with one gap: the candidate chooses the missing word from three or four options, or types it, sometimes from a word given in brackets. Others ask which word or phrase fits. These three were written for this page; the real ones are drawn from the bank for each candidate.
- A2Ayer mi hermana fue al cine con sus amigos.(ir)
- B1Cuando llegue a casa, te llamaré.(llegar)
- B2Si lo hubiera sabido, no habría venido.
What the questions cover
Grammar and vocabulary in use, from a first greeting to the fine print. The list shows the kind of thing asked at each stage; the test moves between them as the candidate answers.
Accents and ñ count in typed answers, as they do in class. Capitals, stray spaces and a final full stop do not.
