One of the main issues students encounter is unfamiliarity with the structure and timing of the DELE A1 exam. By practicing with a realistic mock exam, students can:

Understand the format: They will become accustomed to the types of tasks (reading comprehension, listening, writing, and speaking), reducing the element of surprise on exam day.

Practice time management: With a timed mock exam, students can learn how to allocate their time wisely, ensuring they don’t rush or leave questions unanswered.

Simulate exam conditions: Taking a mock exam in similar conditions to the real one helps reduce anxiety and makes the real exam feel more familiar and manageable.

The mock exam includes a variety of tasks that expose students to different contexts (e.g., everyday conversations, short advertisements, simple texts). Through repeated exposure in the mock exam, students will:

Expand their vocabulary: Encountering words in realistic situations helps solidify their meaning and usage, especially those beyond their basic knowledge.

Recognize high-frequency words: The practice will familiarize them with the most common vocabulary needed for the A1 level, ensuring they’re better prepared to understand the exam’s content.

The mock exam includes simulated oral interaction tasks that students can practice in advance.

Sample speaking prompts: Students can prepare answers to common questions, like talking about themselves, their family, and everyday life, which are typical of the A1 oral exam.

Role-play scenarios: These simulated conversations, such as asking for directions or ordering food, help students practice their responses and build confidence. By practicing these situations repeatedly, students will feel more at ease when they encounter similar scenarios in the actual exam.

A mock exam will provide students with authentic audio material that mirrors the types of listening tasks they’ll face in the real DELE A1 exam. This practice helps in several ways:

Exposure to natural speech: Listening to recordings of native speakers helps students get used to different accents, intonations, and speeds.

Familiarity with task types: Whether it’s matching dialogues to images or answering multiple-choice questions, practicing these types of tasks in the mock exam will improve students’ listening comprehension and reduce their stress during the actual exam.

The mock exam will include tasks that require students to use basic grammar structures, reinforcing their knowledge. For example:

Fill-in-the-blank tasks: These will test students' ability to correctly conjugate verbs and make noun-adjective agreements, solidifying their grasp of essential grammar.

Writing tasks: Short writing exercises (such as writing a postcard or message) allow students to practice basic sentence construction, improving their ability to use grammar in context. Through repeated exposure to grammar-focused exercises, students can overcome their insecurities about grammatical accuracy.

Taking the mock exam allows students to simulate the real DELE A1 exam experience. This practice will:

Boost familiarity and comfort: The more students practice in a realistic setting, the less anxious they’ll feel when taking the real exam. Knowing what to expect helps to reduce nervousness.

Encourage mindfulness techniques: The mock exam can incorporate brief instructions on relaxation methods or reminders to take deep breaths, which can help students manage their stress during the real exam.

The mock exam will force students to engage with the material directly in Spanish without relying on their native language for translation. Through:

Immersive questions: The mock exam will be in Spanish, requiring students to process the information in Spanish. This repetition helps build the habit of thinking in the language.

Interactive dialogue practice: Role-plays and writing exercises will push students to respond naturally in Spanish, preparing them for real-world interaction.

The mock exam is available on our website allowing students to practice regularly and on their own schedule. They can:

Retake the exam: Regularly practicing the mock exam will reinforce their knowledge over time, rather than cramming before the test.

Identify weak points: By reviewing their results and seeing where they made mistakes, students can focus on improving specific skills, such as reading comprehension or verb conjugation. This consistent practice will lead to gradual, sustainable improvement, ensuring that students feel prepared in all areas of the exam.
