This is our page for the official Spanish exams for kids.\u00a0 If you’re an adult interested in taking the DELE<\/strong> exam please click here:<\/p>\n Spanish World has a proven track record helping students achieve their top results<\/strong> in the key Spanish exams recognized by international schools and Universities.<\/span><\/p>\n Getting a 6-7 for IB Spanish, or A-A* for IGCSE, is a realistic and achievable goal, and our experienced teachers can help.\u00a0 In fact, <\/span>90% of Spanish World students go on to score within the top 10% of their respective exams.<\/span><\/p>\n Read more about the specific exams here:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Students generally take this exam in Year 12 or 13, between the ages of 16 and 19.\u00a0 Singapore students tend to choose between <\/span>two Spanish options for their IB Diploma:<\/b> Language B, or Ab Initio.\u00a0 (The third option, Language A, would be taken by either native speakers or uncommonly gifted language learners.)<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Language B refers to a Diploma Program in language acquisition for students with some previous experience of the target language.<\/span><\/p>\n Spanish B entails a high level of Spanish, for students with four to five years of learning experience<\/strong>.\u00a0 It is further divided into students taking High Level (HL), or Standard Level (SL).\u00a0 HL students are expected to employ more complex language structures while demonstrating the ability to perform high-order thinking skills in Spanish.<\/span><\/p>\n Since 2020, both HL and SL students have been assessed on listening comprehension.\u00a0 It\u2019s expected that they\u2019ll be familiar with some different Hispanic accents and linguistic variations.<\/span><\/p>\n Further, an expression paper will demonstrate writing skills and test for conceptual understanding.\u00a0 On this front, our teachers can help provide great “blueprints” for the different styles and written-tones that the student will be called to produce for the exam.<\/span><\/p>\n HL students are also expected to have read two literary works in Spanish, and to have their comprehension, interpretation, and inferences assessed in an oral exam.\u00a0 This is one of the most valuable aspects of having a native, private tutor, as the student becomes comfortable conversing on a wide range of topics<\/strong> – learning about the kind of questions on the exam while improving pronunciation and raising their self-confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n Our expert Spanish advisors can help assess your child’s current proficiency and provide further guidance on the learning path.\u00a0 Please book a session or contact us to learn more.<\/span><\/p>\n In order to qualify for Language A or Language B, the student should have demonstrated sound knowledge of the language.\u00a0 Many students sit the IGCSE, or DELE Escolar, in order to prove that they\u2019re at an adequate level to take the Language B exam.\u00a0 Getting to this level of Spanish is realistic for students attending regular classes, either at their school, or at a dedicated language center like Spanish World.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n This test is for students who are comparatively new to Spanish, having studied Spanish for two years<\/strong> before enrolling in University.\u00a0 Among the IB exams, it tests for the most basic level of Spanish (it is comparable to the IGCSE Spanish level), but Spanish Ab Initio also tests for comprehension and receptive skill befitting older test takers.<\/span><\/p>\n Spanish Ab Initio students require extensive exposure to Spanish if they want to excel on the final test of this Diploma Program.\u00a0 Their comfort level employing Spanish in \u201creal-world\u201d contexts, and their ability to respond to spoken Spanish on the spot, are key factors in scoring a 6 or 7.\u00a0 As the timeframe is shorter for Ab Initio students, we encourage parents to get in touch with Spanish World as soon as the decision has been made to take this exam, to ensure the student has a solid foundation, well before the time to take the test.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Students studying in the British curriculum will take this official exam in year 11, when they finish key stage 4 (Form 4 in local schools).\u00a0 In Singapore, and around the world, many international schools will combine the British secondary education until year 11, with the Diploma Programme (DP) of the International Baccalaureate in years 12 and 13.\u00a0 In local schools, it would be combined with the final two years towards their Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) in Form 5 and Form 6.<\/span><\/p>\n Because of the wide, global recognition of the IGCSE, <\/span>many students decide to take it even while following the local school curriculum<\/b>, and this is an area where Spanish World can be of particular help.<\/span><\/p>\n Getting a good result on the IGCSE will be a tremendous leg up for the rest of a student\u2019s Spanish scholastic career, whether in IB DP, A levels, or HKDSE.\u00a0 This exam is the <\/span>first examination that universities will consider<\/b>, so a strong result is a good marker of an aptitude for language acquisition.<\/span><\/p>\n The Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (HKEAA) offers local students the opportunity to take IGCSE of the Edexcel board.\u00a0 Many secondary schools, especially international schools, offer to take IGCSE internally, with the Cambridge International Examination board.\u00a0 These exam boards guarantee the impartiality of the assessment and the validity of the results worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n The main differences between taking the exam with one board or another arise in relation to the structure of each paper they design and the types of questions used in the oral exam.\u00a0 For this reason – however you decide is best for your child\u2019s IGCSE prep – it\u2019s important that the teacher demonstrates a solid grasp of the assessment criteria published in official sources.<\/span><\/p>\n It is also worth mentioning that the IGCSE is graded on a curve, meaning that a good grade can only be obtained by outperforming the majority of other test-takers.\u00a0 This added competitiveness makes seeking outside help even more necessary for students who want to showcase their Spanish abilities in future admissions to schools and universities.<\/span><\/p>\n Our long experience in IGCSE Spanish training has helped us to develop a great library of resources specifically for this exam.\u00a0 Our <\/span>wide selection of past papers <\/b>is available to students and, when combined with the expert advice of one of our IGCSE specialists, these resources combined with our exam strategies can form a very solid foundation for success on the exam.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]\n <\/p> DELE EXAM (For Adults)<\/a><\/h3>\n
