La prueba cuenta con una serie de cuestiones de cada nivel (I, II, III, IV y V) que evalúan los conocimientos gramaticales y terminológicos, así como la comprensión escrita y oral. Se recomienda seguir el orden de las cuestiones y que la prueba se dé por finalizada cuando no se sepa responder a cuatro preguntas consecutivas.
