To take the oral test, you will be summoned that same day in the afternoon, or sometime the day before or after the exam. In fact, ELE USAL ALICANTE will send you a week before the exam day a notification with the time and address in which you will have to take the four tests.
2. There are six levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2; level A1 is the simplest one, and C2 is the most advanced. Level A2 is required to obtain Spanish nationality if you are a resident and Spanish is not your mother tongue; therefore, to obtain nationality, Spanish-American persons do not have to take the DELE exam.
