- Temporada. Según quienes se examinan, las preguntas se renuevan tres veces al año: en enero, mayo y septiembre. Esta lista corresponde a septiembre–diciembre de 2026.
- Cómo usarla. Lee las preguntas y responde en voz alta. No memorices respuestas: basta con saber de qué hablarías y qué palabras necesitas.

Cómo prepararte por temas
- No memorices. El examinador nota una respuesta recitada y pasa a preguntas que no has preparado. Basta con saber qué dirías y las palabras que necesitas.
- Dilo en voz alta. Un tema que has respondido en voz alta una vez sale mucho mejor en el examen que uno que solo has leído.
- Fíjate en los criterios. La nota valora fluidez y coherencia, vocabulario, gramática y pronunciación. La guía de criterios muestra qué separa un 6 de un 7.
- ¿Me tocará un tema de la lista? No hay garantía. El examinador puede preguntar otros, así que saber construir una respuesta importa más que conocer la lista.
