About the DELE exam
Before taking the DELE exam, please bear in mind that:
- It consists of four tests: reading, listening, writing and speaking. You will take the first three tests on the morning of the exam day together with the other candidates. For the oral test, you will be called on the same day in the afternoon, or at some time the day before or after the exam. In fact, ELE USAL ALICANTE will send you a notification one week before the day of the exam with the time and address where you will have to sit the four tests.
- There are six levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2; level A1 being the easiest and C2 the most advanced. Level A2 is the level required to obtain the Spanish nationality if you are a resident and Spanish is not your native language; therefore, to obtain the nationality Hispanic-American applicants do not have to take the DELE exam.
- ELE USAL ALICANTE organises courses to prepare for this exam with case studies. Therefore they will help you to become familiar with the type of exam; (more information about these courses)
