What is in the PDF
- 276 CCSE questions in five tasks, numbered like the free manual (1001 to 5084). The number tells you the subject; the question, the options and the explanation are ours.
- Spanish first, then your language. The exam is in Spanish, so each question and option appears in Spanish with its English text under it.
- The answer and why. Every answer is explained, then shows the official page it rests on, the sentence of that page word for word, and the day we read it (22 October 2026).
- 9 DELE A2 reading tasks with the sentence of the text that decides each answer.

Why we link the official files
We do not host copies of the manual or of any Instituto Cervantes document: its legal notice (cervantes.org/es/aviso-legal) reserves their reproduction and distribution to the Instituto. A link opens the file where the Instituto publishes it, in its current edition. We do not offer coursebooks or copies of commercial books either.
DELE A2 models
On 26 October 2026, the Instituto Cervantes was moving its exams site to cervantes.org: the old examenes.cervantes.es addresses lead to the DELE page above, which lists dates and deadlines and no model-exam download. Until the models are listed again, the 9 DELE A2 reading tasks in our PDF, with the deciding sentence of each, and the free DELE A2 reading sample are the practice we can give you. Free DELE A2 reading sample.

Questions people ask
Is the CCSE manual free?
Yes. The Instituto Cervantes publishes the 2026 manual as a free PDF, and a free official app for phones. Both are linked above.
Do I need an account or an email address?
No. The PDF downloads straight from this page.
Which language is the exam in?
Spanish. That is why each question in the PDF is shown in Spanish first, with the English, French or Arabic text under it.
Where do the questions come from?
We write each one from a law or a public page and quote the exact sentence it rests on, with the date we read it. The number only says which part of the manual it relates to.
The mock and its explanations are in Arabic, French and English.
