Frequently asked questions
Are the exercises taken from real exams?
No. All exercises are original. They reproduce the task types and level of recent exams, so you practise with new material rather than tasks you may already know.
Is it useful if I am not sitting the exam in Madrid?
Yes, as long as your English test is at C1-C2 level. The task types are aligned with Madrid, but the level and skills are common to other regions.
How are the exercises corrected?
Automatically, as soon as you finish each quiz. You will see your score and the explanation for every question.
What if my transformation answer is correct but marked as wrong?
We accept several valid answers per gap, but there may be correct alternatives we have not foreseen. Compare your answer with the explanation, and if you still think it is valid, write to us at contacto@oposemad.es.
Can I repeat the quizzes?
Yes, as many times as you like during your access period.
What if I don’t have much time?
The quizzes are short and work on your mobile, so you can practise at your own pace whenever you have a moment.
In what order should I do it?
Whichever order suits you. We recommend alternating skills each week and prioritising the one you find hardest.
