CCSE Practice and Mock Exams
The CCSE (Prueba de Conocimientos Constitucionales y Socioculturales de España) is the civics and culture exam most applicants for Spanish nationality have to pass. The real exam is 25 questions in 45 minutes, and you pass with 15 or more correct. Every question here comes from the official preparation bank published by the Instituto Cervantes in the Manual de preparación de la prueba CCSE 2026, the edition the current sittings draw from. New to the exam? Read the guide: what the CCSE is and how it works.
Spanish nationality by residence normally takes two exam passes: the CCSE for constitutional and sociocultural knowledge, and the DELE A2 (or higher) diploma for the language itself. This section covers the CCSE half of that pair: study it alongside your DELE A2 preparation.
