Where will the exam take place

The CCSE test can be taken at Costa de Valencia, a Spanish language school accredited by the Cervantes Institute for the teaching of Spanish. Our experience in organising official Spanish exams and qualifications is a guarantee of quality in the organisation of the CCSE tests with all the COVID-19 health prevention protocols.

Description of the Test

The test consists of 25 closed-answer multiple-choice questions, divided into two formats: multiple choice with three options, or binary choice of true or false. You have 45 minutes to complete the test. Sixty percent of the items are related to government, legislation and the role of citizenship. The rest (40% of the items) are related to Spanish culture, history and society in general.

Results

Each correct answer scores "1" point, incorrect answers score "0" and are therefore not penalised. At least 15 questions must be answered correctly in order to pass the examination.

Approximately 20 days after taking the test, the Instituto Cervantes notifies by email that the results are available and publishes the results in each candidate's personal space (at examenes.cervantes.es) where each candidate can find out the result and download, if applicable, a certificate with official value.
