CCSE

The test of constitutional and sociocultural knowledge of Spain (CCSE test) is a test developed by the Cervantes Institute that evaluates, through different tasks, the knowledge of the Spanish Constitution and the Spanish social and cultural reality. It is one of the requirements established in the laws for the acquisition of the nationality for residents in Spain.

The CCSE test is aimed at all those who wish to obtain Spanish nationality. Candidates of any nationality over 18 years of age and with legal capacity to act can register to take the CCSE tests.

It is organized into two main sections, each of which corresponds to the provisions of the laws for obtaining Spanish nationality in certain cases:

  • Government, legislation and citizen participation in Spain.
  • Spanish culture, history and society.
  •  

The CCSE test consists of five tasks and 25 questions focused on the following headings: 

  • Knowledge of the Government, powers and institutions of the State, fundamental laws and mechanisms of citizen participation. 
  • Knowledge of the duties and rights of Spanish nationality. 
  • Knowledge about the application for nationality and the duties and rights it entails.
  • Knowledge of the territorial organization and physical and political geography of Spain.
  • Spanish traditions, art, culture and relevant Spanish historical facts.
  • Knowledge of different aspects of daily life and behavior in society. 
  • Knowledge of administrative procedures in Spain.

 

The CCSE test contains 25 questions with only one correct answer and is graded automatically. Correct answers receive 1 point; incorrect answers receive 0 points and are not penalized. To pass the test it is necessary to answer 15 of the 25 questions correctly, which means that the candidate, in order to pass the test, must answer 60% of the questions correctly, the same criteria of the Evaluation and Certification System of the DELE Spanish Diplomas.
